NY Republican Candidate for Governor Renews Call for Term Limits


Republican candidate for New York Governor, Rob Astorino the Westchester County Executive, on Wednesday renewed his push for term limiting state elected officials, saying the measure would be the first bill he pushes upon taking office.

“We need new faces and fresh ideas in state politics, and it’s become clear that’s not going to happen without term limits,” Astorino said.  “Even the best elected officials become compromised over time in Albany — not all, but enough to drag us down.”

Astorino has called for term limits before, and backs a plan that would limit statewide elected officials to two four-year terms and members of the state Legislature to four, two-year terms in office.

“Eight years is enough for anyone to serve in state government,” Astorino said.
