Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner is renewing his call for term limits and says the General Assembly should vote on the idea this year. 

Speaking before reporters Monday in Chicago, the first-term Republican says Illinois politics needs new ideas and faces. 

Rauner backed term limits in his 2014 gubernatorial campaign, but a judge found a signature-driven ballot question was unconstitutional.

The same judge also threw out a measure proposing changes to how the state draws it political boundaries.

A revamped redistricting measure is pending review by the Illinois Supreme Court after a Cook County judge found it unconstitutional for November’s.
