Term limits for Congress.  Power is the root of all evil.

How long?  Wouldn't it be better to just set a maximum age?

Congressional districts have to be drawn in a compact way, without regard to race or political leanings.  No more gerrymandering.

If you don't keep an eye on race while drawing the lines, and you have a racial minority that consistently wants candidates that the majority doesn't like, you will consistently disadvantage that racial minority.  Is that OK by you? It's not OK by me.
And if you don't pay attention to political leanings while drawing lines, you will randomly give an advantage to one political side over another. You have to actually pay attention to the political leanings on the map in order to make a balanced map.
The problem we have today is that the mapmakers use the race and political data to make maps unfair. The data should be used to make the maps fair.
