I see you are on the same page that money in politics is the #1 issue that affects everything else.
Not only would reps actually just be able to concentrate on their constituents concerns, no need to spend half your time schmoozing with potential donors. But they couldn't rely on the Koch brothers, or some other rich lechers, to come swooping in to flood the local airwaves with negative ads against your opponent. They'd have to win with their platform.
Beyond that, if you took money out of politics, you'd also eventually weed out politicians that are only in it for the money. You'd end up with people that are there for the most part to actually help their constituents because there would be no incentive anymore to have to mostly cater to only a few of your more high rollers that you rely on.
