Isn’t it a two way street? Politicians(or lobbyists) invest in campaigning because they hope the investment will pay off if the get elected.
If you make being in office unprofitable then campaigning will get cheaper as there won’t be any competition.

If the position can influence billion dollar decisions, then there is incentive to influence the office-holder in the direction most favorable to the interested parties. The only way to deal with that is to reduce the scope of government.
