And no one's ever been there as long.
He wants to serve a fifth term, which no one's ever served in Texas for the U.S.
Senate.
It is time for a change.
Do you believe in age limits and term limits?
I don't believe in age because people act differently, but I do believe in term limits at the federal level because of the way they fund these campaigns and how limited you are in running against incumbent, they shouldn't be able to keep running if they're not going to make elections fair.
So as long as we have these campaign finance laws that favor the incumbents,
You got to have term limits.
Pelosi's been in there a while, too.
What's that?
Yeah, she's finally leaving, but that's the problem.
You can't run against incumbents.
It's very difficult because they are allowed to raise as much money as they possibly can, and you're limited to $7,000 a person.
I think we ought to have, just like in Texas, in statewide elections, as long as you report what you raised and who gave it to you, you can raise whatever you want.
What I like about that is I can go against an incumbent who's been there for 20 years, and I have the chance to beat him.
If you tell me I'm going to be limited, well, he's got all the money, and there's nothing I can do to out-raise him because I've got limits, then you're basically telling me that you want incumbents to win most elections.
No, we're still fighting it.
So, you know, it's, it's pernicious and we still have to be on watch, but we, you know, we, at every turn we've fought it even so much as, you know, we shut down the net zero banking Alliance, which was more focused on eliminating oil and gas and coal.
And these banks were, were slowly, but surely cutting off the lending.
Yeah.
