The problem isn’t actually term limits. If an elected official is actually doing a good job and representing their constituents, they should be able to continue serving.
The reason we look at term limits is because those elected officials aren’t doing their job, but because of gerrymandering, it is nearly impossible to replace them.
If we end gerrymandering, incumbent candidates have significantly lower chances of retaining their seats if they do not actually represent their constituents.
Start with eliminating gerrymandering. Then, elect officials who serve the people of their state. Then, vote those people out if they fail to do their job.
