We already have a problem with politicians getting the majority of their donations from people out of their district and even have very low approval ratings in their district.

Something needs to be done to ensure all districts are equally represented and the representatives work for their constituents, not benefactors from out of state.

The issue is that states aren't - really. There is no barrier so said division is arbitrary and unenforcable. Local has been pushing its siren song for a while when marketing but it is actually a reactionary countertrend to essentially everything else.
