U.S. Term Limits Calls Out Representative Tony Gonzales in Series of Billboards for Breaking His Pledge to Support Congressional Term Limits
Billboards Are in English and Spanish
San Antonio, TX – U.S. Term Limits is calling out Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) for breaking his U.S. Term Limits pledge with a series of billboards educating constituents. The billboards, in English and Spanish, are in four locations in the 23rd congressional district of Texas– on I-20 between Pecos and Hermosa; on I-10 in Fort Stockton; in Monahans on I-20; and in Pecos.
Gonzales pledged that he would support and cosponsor the U.S. Term Limits resolution limiting U.S. House members to three terms and U.S. Senators to two terms. However, House Joint Resolution – 11 was introduced in January 2023 and Gonzales outright refused to cosponsor the bill.
“While running for office, Gonzales pledged that he would support the U.S. Term Limits amendment limiting congressional terms,” said Nicolas Tomboulides, Executive Director of U.S. Term Limits. “With 87% of the population in favor of term limits, pledging support is a key issue.”
“Yet once he was elected, he broke his pledge,” continued Tomboulides. “The people of Texas deserve to know how Representative Gonzales is playing the D.C. game, and that he did not honor his term limits promise.”
There are more than 130 members of Congress who have pledged to support the U.S. Term Limits resolution, the highest-level of term limits pledge signers in Congress ever.
Once the resolution passes 2/3 of Congress, or a national convention of state legislators, the proposed amendment must be ratified by 3/4 of the states in order to codified into the U.S. Constitution.
