Limits alter legislatures in New Mexico context
The article surveys term limits in the United States, noting rapid turnover in lower chambers and about half the Senate replaced in states with limits. It highlights rising female and minority representation but finds many term-limited lawmakers are local career politicians, with leadership shifting to fast-rising a few and lobbyists gaining influence as freshmen flood legislatures. It also observes a slowed momentum for term limits and limited impact on executive budgeting, with New Mexico among states unlikely to adopt constitutional term limits.
