Beth Farnham for Congress @bethfarnham4pa13th.bsky.social Oct 8

Why don't I believe in setting term limits for Members of Congress?
Because elections are term limits.
"But, Beth," you say, "the same people keep getting voted in, even when they are not fit to serve."
I agree with that.
And the United States just went through a very weird time ... See more in ALT

Picture of man in glasses (Senator Mitch McConnell).

which I term, "Schrödinger's Senator" when we didn't know whether or not McConnell was alive or dead. 
I say, "No term limits," but I also say, "Members of Congress should be compelled by law to hold public, in-person town halls to which thousands of constituents attend and some ask questions live, on camera, to the legislator.
In other words, no more hiding from The People.
This way, we don't judge someone for being older, but we do judge their competence.
And the voters will share anything of concern, determining the fitness of a legislator based on real observation.
No more Mitch McConnells. No more Diane Feinsteins.
An informed voter is the best voter.
Please vote for me, Beth Farnham, on November 3rd so I can propose legislation like this to re-engage the voting public with the people who claim to represent us. 
Together, we #ChooseDemocracy !
