Casey Burgat, an associate fellow at the R Street Institute, a nonpartisan public policy research organization, argued against the change in a subcommittee hearing in 2019.
“Term limits have proven to be a brain drain on legislatures, decreasing capacity to perform their duties as a co-equal branch of government,” Burgat said at the time. “Policymaking is a hard job, and an often thankless one at that. … Experience matters and should be welcomed rather than ushered away from the institution where it will do the most good.”
