Senate candidate Alex Gray signs term limits support pledge

For ten years, Oklahoma had two Senators who took diametrically opposed views on term limits. On one side was Sen. Jim Inhofe, who vehemently opposed term limits (he's been in Washington since 1987, after all). On the other side was Dr. Tom Coburn, who was perhaps the most famous and principled of the term limits advocates on Capitol Hill. Coburn went above and beyond merely pledging support for term limits, and held himself to a self-imposed limit of three terms in the House and two terms in the Senate (ultimately resigning partway through his second Senate term). With Inhofe moving off the scene and sparking a special election, one of the candidates vying to replace him is taking more of the Coburn side of things. Alex Gray signed the U.S. Term Limits candidate pledge. For what it's worth, fellow Senate candidate and sitting congressman Markwayne Mullin signed the same pledge in 2012, then proceeded to trash it when political power and prestige became too irresistable (plus, his "life experience changed", which makes it a-okay to break your word).
