Nothing can be done about open corruption like this until money is taken out of politics. Since the Supreme Court has ruled that this can’t be done by banning donations or limiting political advertising, the solution is to reduce the size of each electorate so that politicians don’t need to raise truckloads of cash in order to run.
If there were only 20,000 voters in each district then people would be able to run (and win) on personally meeting all the voters. No need for advertising and the money this requires. If you got rid off all the political staff then it wouldn’t even cost anymore.
