Hackworth promises no Young-like tenure
Bob Hackworth, the mayor of Dunedin who is challenging 38-year incumbent U.S. Rep. Bill Young, has pledged to serve no more than four terms in Congress if elected.
Hackworth's statement is a continuation of the theme of his campaign, which argues that change requires a citizen-legislator rather than a longtime incumbent.
"I do not believe that our community or nation benefits from politicians treating elected office as a lifetime appointment," Hackworth said in statement.
