I oppose term limits because we already have them: they're called elections. If people want a lawmaker out, they have the vote.
Applying an artificial cap on elected offices serves only to limit the power of the people to install the leaders they chose, and to thereby weaken the government's ability to serve them. Experience, knowledge, etc. would be gained and tossed with each cycle, depriving the government of a great deal of effectiveness,e tc.
Corporate lobbyist would benefit greatly from a constant churn in the legislature, as their clients are not forced to churn new ones through every couple terms..they can work for decades straight, accumulating influence and power their entire run. It's no wonder then that corporations are often behind efforts like this one to impose term limits. The extreme right Sinclair group would love nothing more than to see our government weakened.

Thanks for your input! This is right along the lines of what I’ve heard before: term limits strengthen lobbyists by creating a revolving door of inexperienced politicians.
I’ve been doing my job for 15 years and am just getting comfortable as a senior level expert. I can’t imagine how much more experience it takes to run a city.
