We should all agree Congress is broken. Our current system functions too much on greed, rewards stagnation, and disincentivizes change. That's why we need a serious overhaul of our electoral system. Conversations about democratic reforms like multi-member districts and ranked-choice voting are crucial to restoring trust in our government.

First and foremost, we must overturn the Supreme Court's egregious Citizens United ruling which has allowed virtually unlimited sums of money to flow into American elections. Money is not speech — period.

I fully support a national conversation about implementing term limits for Members of Congress and I pledge to serve no more than five terms in the House of Representatives if I'm elected.

The federal judiciary is also deeply broken. Supreme Court Justices are partying with billionaires and openly taking bribes as they rule in ways that hurt millions of Americans. We need a binding code of ethics for the Supreme Court and all federal judges and we need Congress to rigorously enforce it. To depoliticize the Supreme Court, we must also require a two-thirds Senate majority to confirm Justices, expand the Court to 15 seats, and implement 18-year term limits for Supreme Court Justices with appointments spread out evenly and fairly between presidential terms.

Elected officials serve their constituents, not the other way around. Likewise, voters should choose their Representatives, not the other way around. Gerrymandering is one of the key reasons why many Americans feel that their vote doesn't count — and they're often right! In deep blue or red districts, an individual's vote often doesn't have the same effect as it would elsewhere. I support federal action to mandate nonpartisan redistricting commissions to draw congressional districts fairly and logically.

Over the past decade-and-a-half the Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act piece-by-piece. Despite sometimes offering voting rights advocates minor concessions, like the creation of a majority-Black district in Alabama, the Court has eaten away at core principles of our democracy. Congress must take action, by passing the Freedom to Vote Act and by depoliticizing the Court itself.
