U.S. Term Limits announced that former State Representative Linda Massimilla has agreed to serve as New Hampshire State Co-Chair for the organization, working alongside former State Senate President Chuck Morse. Massimilla brings extensive public service experience to the role and emphasizes the need for congressional term limits to address dysfunction in Washington, D.C. She believes New Hampshire is prepared to join other states advocating for a constitutional amendment on this issue.
"I am honored to serve as the New Hampshire State Co-Chair for U.S. Term Limits and eager to work with Senator Morse on this issue," said Massimilla. She noted that polls indicate over 80% of Americans support congressional term limits, making it a unifying issue across political affiliations. "Now more than ever before, the need for term limits is crystal clear," she added, arguing that such limits would reform government and end entrenched dysfunction.
Massimilla referenced the constitutional amendment process established by the Founding Fathers, suggesting that current political conditions warrant its use. "If the times we live in, don't warrant this usage, then when does?" she questioned. She concluded by stating, "The Granite State is ready to stand and counted in the fight for congressional term limits."
Philip Blumel, President of U.S. Term Limits, expressed confidence in Massimilla's leadership. "We are honored to have Representative Massimilla leading our efforts in New Hampshire with Senator Morse to pass term limits for Congress," he said. "Under their guidance, I am confident we will get our term limits resolution passed in New Hampshire." U.S. Term Limits is described as the largest grassroots term limits advocacy group in the country, focusing on passing term limits at various government levels, particularly for the U.S. Congress.

The appointment highlights a growing movement among states to push for congressional term limits through constitutional amendments, with Massimilla's role aimed at mobilizing support in New Hampshire. Her background includes work as an elementary school teacher, adjunct faculty at Plymouth State University, and service as a New Hampshire State Representative for Grafton 1. She has received recognition for her legislative efforts on issues such as child sex trafficking and veterans' affairs, including awards from the National Foundation of Women Legislators and her hometown of Littleton.
