Democratic congressional candidate Dan Pastore announced Friday that he signed a pledge to co-sponsor and vote to enact term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

The pledge calls for an amendment restricting members of the U.S. House to three terms and the U.S. Senate to two terms. Pastore’s opponent Mike Kelly is running for his 7th term.

“Washington is broken, and I am running for Congress to enact change for the people of Western Pennsylvania,” Pastore said. “Too many career politicians are working for their own benefit while the people they represent come last.”

The new 16th congressional district encompasses all of Butler, Crawford, Erie, Lawrence and Mercer counties and part of Venango County.
