Former legislators broadly favor reforming or ending term limits

As voters in Michigan consider a ballot measure to change the state’s legislative term limits, a survey of former legislators shows overwhelming support for reforming or abolishing the limits. The survey, conducted in 2020 and 2021 by Rusty Hills, a longtime Republican Party official who is now a lecturer at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, with assistance from the Center for Local, State and Urban Policy, included 110 former legislators, many of whom had been term-limited out of office.
