Term-limited members
Under the Michigan Constitution, members of the state Senate are able to serve only two four-year terms, and members of the House of Representatives are limited to three two-year terms, some of the toughest term-limit laws in the country.[ 6] After the 2018 mid-term elections, nearly 70 percent of the state Senate and 20 percent of the state House were forced to leave office because of term-limits.[ 7] The following members were prevented by term-limits from seeking re-election to the House in 2018. This list does not include members who were eligible for re-election, but instead sought other office or voluntarily retired.
