Funny how most of these attack ads are financed by out of state PACs.
Not sure if term limits is the answer as so much is done by seniority at the National and State level. It is the old guard that actually gets often bills through.

Civic lessons starting in junior high and also later in high school along with critical thinking might be a long term solution but probably would not really start being effective for decades.
