Kaufert and Term Limits

Rep Kaufert and several colleagues have proposed a constitutional amendment (AJR13) which calls for term limits on the following elected positions in Wisconsin: the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, superintendent of public instruction, and members of the legislature. The proposal limits terms to 12 consecutive years of service in the same office.

According to this blog: "In 1995 there were 23 sponsors of a resolution to put 12-year term limits on those in the state legislature. A resolution was again introduced in 1997 but only had 13 sponsors. 1999's resolution had ten sponsors, 2001's resolution had six sponsors, and 2003 had only two lonely sponsors."

Rep Kaufert was first elected in 1990.
