Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) announced he would not be seeking another term in 2020, citing a pledge to only serve four terms.
“I believed when I ran on term limits. I ran on a pledge to serve four terms—eight years and come home,” Yoho said in a statement on Tuesday. “Many told me I was naive and they’re probably right. I was told the district has changed three times and so the pledge isn’t binding and I could rationalize that. However, I truly believe a person’s word is their bond and should live up to their word.”
