Campaign contributions are smothering selection of the best political leaders. Matching the power of incumbency with the ability to attract unlimited sums is corrosive leading to weaker leaders. Good people do not want to work in such a regime… a glance at our present roster confirms this observation.

A simple shift of money toward non-office holders will enliven the selection process. Incumbents do their job and citizens monitor their performance. Should the performance lag expectations, money can be attracted to challenge the office holder.

That is the way the system should work.
