WARREN, Mich. – The Michigan Supreme Court has upheld a decision that bars current Warren Mayor Jim Fouts from running for a fifth term in office this year due to recently-implemented term limits. In 2020, Warren voters approved a charter amendment that establishes term limits for the city mayor: three 4-year terms, or 12 years total. The amendment, which passed with a 68% majority in 2020, took effect during the beginning of Fouts' fourth term as mayor. Fouts has argued that the new term limits should not apply to his terms in office before that amendment was approved.
