U.S. Term Limits announced that Dan Frei has agreed to serve as the Nebraska State Chair for the organization, bringing both private and public service experience to the role advocating for congressional term limits. Frei emphasized the widespread public support for this reform, noting that polls show over 80% of Americans regardless of political affiliation support congressional term limits. "Now more than ever before, the need for term limits is crystal clear," said Frei. "Polls show that the one issue that unites all Americans regardless of political affiliation is the need for congressional term limits."
Frei argued that term limits would address what he described as a fundamental problem in Washington. "For many, serving in Congress has become a lifelong entitlement rather than a public service," concluded Frei. "Term limits will help improve accountability and make government work better for all Americans." He expressed his intention to work with the U.S. Term Limits team to ensure that the Nebraska legislature adopts a resolution calling for congressional term limits, viewing this as a crucial step toward national reform.
Philip Blumel, President of U.S. Term Limits, expressed confidence in Frei's leadership. "We are honored to have Dan leading our efforts in Nebraska to pass term limits for Congress," said Blumel. "Under his guidance, I am confident we will get our term limits resolution passed in Nebraska." The organization, which describes itself as the largest grassroots term limits advocacy group in the country, focuses on connecting supporters with legislators and working to pass term limits at all levels of government, with particular emphasis on the U.S. Congress.

The appointment comes at a time when term limits advocacy has gained significant traction across the political spectrum. Frei brings political experience to the role, having previously challenged incumbents in congressional primaries, including a near upset in 2014 against an eight-term incumbent and another challenge in 2024. His background includes more than 30 years in the business technology industry and service on Republican Party committees in Douglas County and Nebraska. The organization's strategy involves passing state resolutions calling for a constitutional convention to enact congressional term limits, with Nebraska now positioned as a key battleground in this national effort.
