A newly filed ballot measure would set term limits for lawmakers serving in the Alaska Legislature
earlier in the year. But it has some key differences: Legislators could serve 12 years in the House or Senate, and that limit would then reset if they were elected to the other legislative chamber.
The constitutional amendment did not receive a legislative hearing this year, with supporters saying that there was little interest in the Senate. “As a new legislator who’s just completed his first session, I cannot exaggerate what an eye-opening experience it has been. I will never look at Alaska’s government the same way again,” he said by text message. “Other folks deserve the same opportunity. Term limits ensure more people have the chance to serve, and Alaska benefits from their fresh perspectives.”
