every gerrymandering any districts.
That and to make our elected officials work for all the people they serve rather than those of their political party we need a Constitutional Amendment requiring State Senators, Governors and all Federal Senators, House members and the President to win by a 5% wider margin than they won the last time they ran if they wish another term and if they fail to meet that margin the candidate with the next highest margin wins.
Furthermore for that level of office they lost they must wait until 2 full election cycles have been held for that office have been held before they may attempt to run for it anywhere else that way it prevents carpetbagging.
A Governor though is still free to run for another office just as a House member may run for Governor they just cannot run for the same level that they lost until that cool off period has run its course.
Also resigning kicks in the cool off period as well so as to prevent a politician from skirting out from under it.
