Issues

Term limits

Netherwood stated in June 2014 that he supports a Term Limit Amendment of three terms for those in Congress. Neither of the major party candidates--Curt Clawson (R) or April Freeman (D)--have weighed in on the issue.[4]

Netherwood said, "A representative government must by default be refreshed and turned over. The careerists in DC who have been on power trips for 20 or 30 years (and some longer) are those who have guided us into the fiscal sinkhole and ethics-free circus that our Nation is in. Sadly, we have a largely apathetic pool of voters who simply keep pulling the lever or filling in the circle for whoever "their party" has on the ballot. Why should local governments be any different? We thank all those who have stood up to serve, but turnover for new and different ideas, for fresh blood, must become a reality to save the Republic and keep municipalities vibrant."[4]
