In this article, I examine how term limits affect the amount of time that legislators focus on constituency service and fundraising. I use data from the 2002 U . S . State Legislative Survey conducted by C arey, N iemi, P owell, and M oncrief to provide support for my hypotheses. The results from the data analysis suggest that in the presence of term limits, legislators with long‐term career goals in politics spend less time on constituency service activities and more time on fundraising with their caucus. For legislators with short‐term career goals in politics, there is very little evidence to suggest that term limits have an effect on how much time they spend on constituency service activities and fundraising activities.
