Virginia's General Assembly 2026 - Current Politics for Virginia Residents

Hey guys, Just going through the current Virginia general assembly. Trying to understand all the mess going on in this state at the moment. And lordy is it a lot, a lot! I come away shaking my head but with one big question...

Why is it some seats have term limits and some do not? Im reading and reading and there is NO viable answer I can find. So this is stumping me at the moment because I believe everyone in these roles should have term limits set forth. Not because they are good or bad, but because times change, people change, and terms keep the playing field level and current. 

I think I get the arguement that most of these positions without term limits is because this is more likely than not, their career path. But any ELECTED official, should have a set term limit. Right?

What am I missing here? Ill keep digging. Ill figure it out most assurdly! 

Anyway, hope this current roster helps you understand who is playing politics in Virginian's lives!
