Maine: Two-term Pledge

U.S. Rep. Tom Allen (D-Portland) has a new ad out replaying a 1996 pledge by U.S. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Bangor) promising to serve just two terms. Allen hopes to unseat Collins on Tuesday.

Collins says in the clip: “I have pledged that if I’m elected I will only serve two terms, regardless of whether term limits law – constitutional amendment passes or not. Twelve years is long enough to be in public service, make a contribution, and then come home and let someone else take your place.”
