Eleventh Judicial District Attorney Thom LeDoux will ask voters to eliminate the term limit applicable on the office of district attorney by approving ballot issue 4A at the polls Nov. 2. LeDoux said Pueblo County waived the term limit about eight years ago. He said other judicial districts including Mesa County and Denver County voted to increase the term limit from two terms to three. Initiatives to waive the term limit have never been successful in a multi-county district, he said.
