Anna Paulina Luna Pushes 12-Year Congressional Term Limits as Congress Approval Sits Near 10%

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 5

Summary

  • Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called for 12-year term limits on members of Congress and broader House Ethics reforms, arguing Washington rewards politicians for staying in power rather than solving problems.
  • About 83% of Americans support congressional term limits, Luna said, while Congress's approval rating sits around 10% to 12% — numbers she tied to stock trading, donor influence and weak accountability.
  • Luna said she has worked to expose a FEMA funds scandal and accused both Republicans and Democrats of failing to police misconduct or deliver transparency inside the chamber.
  • Alaska is central to her pitch: Luna urged the state to pass term limits first to create a court-tested path, saying she would pursue a federal push as Alaska's next senator.
  • She framed term limits as a way to curb careerism, reduce special-interest power and force lawmakers to address immigration, housing, drug prices and the broader cost-of-living squeeze.
