Right on............ Plus doing a limited election cycle paid in which each is allowed free Air Time, to express and debate others.. (The media pays for not Taxpayers.)
This would also increase each official time on the job, by not needing to raise $.
As each wanting to serve is now covered.. Winners are the people.
