It should be easy to vote and hard to cheat. Access to the polls and election integrity aren't mutually exclusive.

We need easy access to accurate and credible information about key issues, so we can take a stance.

Elected officials need to start with the problems that need to be solved, and commit to finding the right approach—regardless of party loyalty.

We need to respect and incorporate feedback from both sides of the aisle, all across the country.

Something that works in New York City may not work in rural Montana. Let states and municipalities take their own approaches to federal objectives.

Legislators should be actively soliciting ideas from their constituents. And constituents should feel confident that their voices are heard.

We should do everything we can to take money out of politics, and eliminate the need for political parties to rely on lobbyist support.

We can learn from change management and quality improvement principles to make government more effective.
