U.S. Term Limits has appointed Dan Frei as its Nebraska State Chair. Frei, a business technology industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience, will lead efforts to pass a state resolution calling for congressional term limits. The organization, described as the largest grassroots term limits advocacy group in the country, connects supporters with legislators to advance term limits at all levels of government.
Frei stated that the need for congressional term limits is clear, citing polling showing over 80% support among Americans regardless of political affiliation. He argued that for many, serving in Congress has become a lifelong entitlement rather than public service, and that term limits would improve accountability and government functionality. His appointment reflects a strategic alignment between business leadership principles and political reform advocacy.
Philip Blumel, President of U.S. Term Limits, expressed confidence that under Frei's guidance, the term limits resolution would pass in Nebraska. The organization's broader mission includes working to pass term limits on the U.S. Congress, with information available at https://termlimits.org.
Frei's background includes building high-performing teams and driving growth through practical, solution-focused leadership in the business technology sector. This experience in organizational efficiency and accountability translates directly to his advocacy for political structural reform. His prior political involvement includes a 2014 congressional primary challenge against an eight-term incumbent and a 2024 run against a four-term incumbent, demonstrating consistent commitment to challenging long-tenured incumbency.
The implications of this appointment extend beyond Nebraska politics. Business and technology leaders increasingly engage in governance reform discussions, recognizing that political stability and accountability impact economic conditions. Term limits advocacy represents a convergence of business efficiency principles with political reform, potentially influencing how corporate leaders approach policy engagement. For industry executives monitoring regulatory environments, political structure changes could affect long-term business planning and government relations strategies.
Frei champions multiple policy positions including balanced budgets, reduced federal overreach, and protection of constitutional rights, alongside term limits. His belief in citizen legislators aligns with broader movements advocating for non-career politicians in governance. The appointment signals growing organized efforts to translate widespread public support for term limits into legislative action, with potential ripple effects on congressional operations, lobbying dynamics, and policy continuity.
