Fifteen states have passed laws limiting the terms of state legislators: AZ, AR, CA, CO, FL, LA, ME, MI, MO, MT, NE, NV, OH, OK, and SD.All the other states also have term limits, too ... though not in the legal sense. These states are term limited by nature, and nature's term limit is a person's life span.
So what's that got to do with the Repeal Machine?
Let's put it this way. One of the things we do is finding the closest races, and that includes open seats. So if a state legislator is getting pretty old, the odds of them leaving office is pretty high.
With that in mind, one of our new website features will be finding out who the oldest legislators are in states without legal term limits.
Just one more piece of the puzzle to help you find the races that matter most.
