All of these individuals cited, were elected in 94 and signed the Contract with America.
Plank 10 of the Contract called for elected officials in the House and Senate to be capped at 12 consecutive years of service. They could be re-elected after sitting out a term. Never accomplished, but these 34 politicians have either signed the contract, or made pledges at the time or even more recently to hold themselves to 12 years.
