North Dakota's Longest-Serving Lawmaker Against Term Limits

(Bismarck, ND) -- North Dakota's longest-serving lawmaker is speaking out against term limits.

State Senator Ray Holmberg commented on the issue over the weekend, saying there has been "quite a bit of turnover" in the legislature and that he doesn't want to "tell the people in Fargo they can't vote for who they want to vote for."  

The Secretary of State's Office greenlit a petition last month that could put the issue in front of voters as a statewide ballot question next year.  

The proposed cap would be eight years in the Senate, another eight in the House, and eight as governor.
