I have asked the proponents: Just who are these legislators that were in office 14 years that did so much harm that changing from 14 to 12 years will change?

The response:

Crickets.

We did a deep dive to find out just how many legislators have been in office 14 years, since the voters imposed Term Limits on the politicians.

551 unique individuals served in the 30 years prior to term limits taking effect.

to term limits taking effect.

112 served 14 or more years (20.3%)

278 served over 6 years (50.4%)

The list of TOTAL individuals who have served 14 years since TL started:

730 unique individuals have served since 1993.

Only 52 have served 14 years (7.2%)

146 have served over 6 years (20%.

 

This shows that term limits significantly increase representation – 730 different persons.

Many more, and different, people are serving in government.

More women, more minorities, fewer old white guys (full disclosure – I am one)

running the show.
