Donate $3 to the Presidential Election Fund every year on your US taxes. It costs you nothing, is a single checkbox, and redirects $3 of your taxes into the fund.
Candidates that take money from the fund have additional (mostly good) limits placed on their spending.
It's not perfect, but it's free to do and creates an alternative to lobbyist funding.

From the "Public funds received 1976-present" on this page[0], usage of these funds has steadily declined, likely because "To be eligible to receive public funds, the presidential nominee of a major party must agree to limit spending to the amount of the grant and may not accept private contributions for the campaign". 0: https://www.fec.gov/introduction-campaign-finance/understanding-ways-support-federal-candidates/presidential-elections/public-funding-presidential-elections/ https://www.fec.gov/introduction-campaign-finance/understand...
