No term limits but reform campaign finance laws so that incumbency doesn't produce such a quantitative advantage via money. Make it so that challengers stand a serious chance against incumbents. "When the field is level we have term limits, they're called elections."
Being in office for too long doesn't inherently make an elected official less responsive to their constituents. Its just that our system makes it so that people who are in office for a long time are allowed to be less responsive to their constituents.
