Why In progress: Ellzey first won a 2021 special election and signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge. A five-term cap, counted from that start, would run through the term ending Jan 3, 2031. He is still serving and has not exceeded five terms; the constitutional amendment has not been proposed to the states. (batch1-research-2026-11-10, 2026-11-10 14:12:39 UTC)
