U.S. Term Limits has announced the appointment of Dan Frei as Nebraska State Chair for the organization, marking a strategic move in the national campaign for congressional term limits. The appointment comes as polling data indicates overwhelming bipartisan support for limiting congressional terms, with Frei emphasizing the need to address what he describes as dysfunction in Washington, D.C.
Frei brings both private sector experience and political background to the role, having previously served on Republican Party committees in Douglas County and Nebraska. His political involvement includes congressional primary challenges in 2014 and 2024, experiences that he says inform his commitment to term limits advocacy. "I am honored to serve as the Nebraska State Chair for U.S. Term Limits," Frei stated. "Now more than ever before, the need for term limits is crystal clear."
The organization cites polling showing over 80% of Americans across political affiliations support congressional term limits, a statistic Frei highlighted as evidence of broad consensus. "Polls show that the one issue that unites all Americans regardless of political affiliation is the need for congressional term limits," he noted. This widespread support forms the foundation of U.S. Term Limits' advocacy efforts, which the organization describes as the largest grassroots term limits movement in the country.
Philip Blumel, President of U.S. Term Limits, expressed confidence in Frei's leadership. "We are honored to have Dan leading our efforts in Nebraska to pass term limits for Congress," Blumel said. "Under his guidance, I am confident we will get our term limits resolution passed in Nebraska." The organization works to connect supporters with legislators and advance term limits at various government levels, with particular focus on the U.S. Congress through their website at https://termlimits.org.
Frei articulated the core argument for term limits, stating, "For many, serving in Congress has become a lifelong entitlement rather than a public service." He contends that term limits would enhance accountability and improve governmental function. "Term limits will help improve accountability and make government work better for all Americans," he concluded. His immediate objective involves working with the Nebraska legislature to adopt a resolution supporting congressional term limits.
The appointment represents a significant development in the term limits movement within Nebraska, potentially influencing state legislative action on the issue. With Frei's political experience and the organization's national reach, the partnership aims to translate widespread public support into concrete policy measures. The effort aligns with broader discussions about congressional reform and government accountability occurring across the political spectrum.
