U.S. Term Limits has announced that former State Representative Linda Massimilla will serve as New Hampshire State Co-Chair alongside former State Senate President Chuck Morse. The appointment signals intensified efforts to advance congressional term limits in the Granite State as part of a national movement seeking constitutional change.
Massimilla brings extensive public service experience to the role, having served as an elementary school teacher, adjunct faculty member at Plymouth State University, and New Hampshire State Representative for Grafton 1. Her background includes recognition for work on child sex trafficking legislation and veterans' issues, earning awards from the National Foundation of Women Legislators and her hometown of Littleton.
"I am honored to serve as the New Hampshire State Co-Chair for U.S. Term Limits and eager to work with Senator Morse on this issue," Massimilla stated. "Now more than ever before, the need for term limits is crystal clear. Polls show that one issue that unites all citizens regardless of political affiliation is the need for congressional term limits."
Massimilla cited polling indicating over 80% of Americans support congressional term limits, arguing that such reform would address government dysfunction in Washington, D.C. She emphasized that New Hampshire stands ready to join other states calling for a constitutional amendment through the process established by the Founding Fathers.
"When government ceases to work for we the people, the Founding Fathers included a constitutional amendment process to be used by the states to right the country," Massimilla continued. "If the times we live in don't warrant this usage, then when does?"
Philip Blumel, President of U.S. Term Limits, expressed confidence in the New Hampshire leadership team. "We are honored to have Representative Massimilla leading our efforts in New Hampshire with Senator Morse to pass term limits for Congress," Blumel said. "Under their guidance, I am confident we will get our term limits resolution passed in New Hampshire."
U.S. Term Limits describes itself as the largest grassroots term limits advocacy group in the country, working to connect supporters with legislators and advance term limits at all government levels, with particular focus on Congress. The organization maintains its online presence at https://termlimits.org where supporters can find additional information about their initiatives.
The appointment comes as term limits advocacy gains momentum nationally, with proponents arguing that limiting congressional tenure would reduce political entrenchment and increase government accountability. Massimilla's role will involve coordinating grassroots efforts and legislative strategy in New Hampshire, a state that could play a pivotal role in the constitutional amendment process requiring support from three-fourths of state legislatures.
