one or max 2 term limits for ALL positions
If you will go to the Capitol now, you will see that term limits is a huge problem.
It takes time to be trained and become competent in any new job, and being a legislator is no different. They mean well, but simply lack the understanding and ability to perform at a high level, especially now when we need that the most.
Plus, if a district wants to return the same person to office again and again, why shouldn't those voters have that right? Why artificially limit the will of the voters?
Meh. Never mind. I'd rather talk sports.

you're way off on this. The Founding Fathers envisioned a citizen legislature, not entrenched, professional politicians whose main concern is raising money and getting reelected, not doing what's right.
This exists on both sides of the aisle, so it's not a Democrat or Republican thing. Professional politicians are a huge factor in all of our problems, not just at the state level but in DC as well.
