I voted no.

I think the House should be divided in half with each serving four year terms instead of two, but with elections held every 2 years, kind of like the Senate.  I don't like the two year terms for one reason.  The Congressperson basically has to run a continuous campaign and can't really focus most of their term on their jobs (if they have the desire to in the first place) and have to spend at least 15 of their 24 months in office campaigning and fundraising.  I know it will never happen, but I advocate 6-year terms for Senate with 3-term limit (18 years total) and 4-year terms for House with 5-term limit (20 years total).
