GOP US Senate nominee backs congressional term limits

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Republican nominee looking to unseat two-term U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown wants term limits that include only two terms for senators.

U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, of Wadsworth, announced Tuesday he supports a maximum of three terms for U.S. representatives and two for senators. Brown, a Democrat, is pursuing his third six-year term in office.

Without mentioning Brown by name, Renacci said "career politicians" who hold office for decades are to blame for the stalemate in the U.S. Senate, and new representatives with new ideas are the only way to fix what he called "a broken system."

"Our representatives should go to Washington, get the job done and leave," Renacci said.
