A fair election system is key to a healthy democracy, and is the foundation of government. Our current system favors incumbants and well-funded interest groups, at the expense of fair representation, and interests of the people.
There is no conscionable justification for our Gerrymandered districts - they're embarrassing, and the origin of problems which propogate through government. Failling to reform them is unethical.

I support depoliticizing the Supreme Court. It's currently tied too heavily to the President who appoints each justice. I support increasing the number of Supreme court seats, and implementing a term limit for Justices. Appointments will be spread evenly between presidential terms.
I support enforcing a code of ethics for Supreme Court justices, focused on ensuring Justices remain impartial and make bribes non-viable.
