Would you support a mandatory retirement age of 75 for US House, US Senate & US Supreme Court Justices and if not why?

First I would support campaign finance reform and watch 90% of the problems be solved.

Then I would tackle the other 10% by making voting more accessible - especially in primaries. Make it so accessible that even young voters bother to do it. That way people will choose younger reps more often.

So no, I wouldn’t support putting a bandaid on one issue and ignoring the root causes.

Should make voting a week long thing so people have more time to go. The last day should be a national holiday.
