Cap campaign fund raising so all candidates must manage the same budget. Benefits: It tests the candidates ability to manage a budget, reduces time spent fundraising and reduces the quid pro quo deal making now that campaign spending has become almost limitless leading to a constant pursuit of big donors.
This must be accompanied by media reform to ensure candidates get equal time on every story to respond to accusations, smears, policy declarations, etc.

This! We need regular people able to run for office. Even local office campaigns are spending ridiculous amounts of money and that eliminates most normal folks from being able to run.
Eliminate deep pockets from controlling our elected officials! They are supposed to work for us “We the People”!

Corporate America small, medium or large may no longer contribute to candidates campaigns‼️

I have always thought the amount of money spent on campaigns is absurd.
Politics is only a rich person’s game. This was not how it always was. Politicians are civil servants: like teachers and fire fighters. No politician should get rich while in office.
At the very least there should be a “dollar for dollar match” on the amount spent on political campaigns and match the amount spent on campaigning on charity for people who cannot help themselves.

I agree with dollar limits and no outside money. Each campaign dollar limit could correspond to the level of campaign and increase accordingly. Granted there are many races to consider, there could be categories with multiple races in each level.
School Board
City/County Races
( Mayor/Council/Commissioner )
State Senate/Congress
US Senate/Congress
President
