WI-06: Grothman (R) Will Break Term Limit Pledge

[RandySF]

Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) “wants to stay in Washington longer than he previously said he would,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Grothman “indicated this week he would break a pledge he made during his first campaign for Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District to serve only five two-year terms in the House.”

Said Grothman: “I have only been here for — only two of my 10 years I’ve been here in which we had a majority with a Republican president. And I look forward to having that situation two years from today.”

1. "I'm not a career politician. I just want to stay in office for as long as possible."

More Republican hypocrisy, as if we needed any more.

2. no pledge means anything to a republican except

money to their campaign fund. From Judges to senators and beyond.

3. Well of course he will

See, term limits are for those other, useless politicians. Rep. Grothman has become indispensable to the smooth running of the House of Representatives, so naturally he will run for re-election.

If only there was some way Democrats could make the case for replacing Grothman in 2024. But how? HOW???

4. Certainly he could find a cushy lobbyist job.

This guy knew term limits didn't guarantee you get to serve your time in the majority. He also knew he never meant a word of his pledge to begin with.
