Over in Ohio’s 15th District, Democratic candidate Mary Jo Kilroy is nailing Republican incumbent Deborah Pryce on Pryce’s term limits pledge to her constituents, a pledge she has broken:

In 1994, Republicans led by Newt Gingrich told Americans that if they elected a Republican Congress for the first time in forty years, the Republicans would enact and honor a platform they called the Contract with America. It was a bold contract. It promised a lot of sweeping reforms. It made very specific commitments. It became the Republicans’ ralllying cry.

They ended the contract with the following: “On September 27, 1994, 300 candidates for public office gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol and signed their names to document.

Their pledge: ‘If we break this contract, throw us out.”

The Contract With America which Deborah Pryce signed specified a six-term limit for members of Congress. Those six terms are up for Deborah Pryce.

The Kilroy campaign continues:

Six terms later, now in her 7th term, what does Congresswoman Pryce say about “Term Limits” today?

[Sound of crickets chirping]

I like that style. Keep calling Deborah Pryce on her own lack of integrity, and you’ll win, Ms. Kilroy. You’ll win big.
