Democracy can only function when our elected representatives can effectively and openly represent the interests of those they serve. Current rules allow for secretive, back-room negotiations where only a select group of voices are heard. We need reforms that will move us past the "know a guy" reputation we've earned, and make clear, open, democratic processes the new normal. I will support changes that ensure elected officials can serve their constituents with transparency and accountability. I support the legislative line-item veto and independent redistricting commission.
