ROSE REPUBLICANS THE VOICE OF GEN Z IN THE GOP
Issue 02 · Accountability

Electoral Reform.

Make representatives accountable to the people by uncapping the House, overturning Citizens United, and implementing Ranked-Choice Voting.

  • Uncap the House
  • Overturn Citizens United
  • Implement Ranked-Choice Voting
Why It Matters

Representatives have stopped answering to us.

The House of Representatives has been frozen at 435 seats since 1929, when the country had less than half the people it has today. Each member now represents roughly 760,000 people, far too many to truly know the community they serve.

Since the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision, unlimited outside money has flooded our elections through super PACs. Candidates answer to the donors who fund them, not the voters who elect them.

And in most races, a candidate can win with a small, loud slice of the vote. That rewards the most extreme voices and leaves most Americans feeling unrepresented.

Our Positions

What we'll fight for.

01

Uncap the House

Smaller districts mean representatives who know their communities and can be held accountable by them. If America is the bastion of democracy, our House should show it.

How we'd do it
  • Repeal the 1929 cap that froze the House at 435 seats
  • Adopt the Wyoming Rule: size every district to the population of the smallest state, growing the House to about 574 seats today
  • Keep growing toward the Constitution's original ratio of one representative for every 30,000 people
  • Pair expansion with fair, transparent district maps
02

Overturn Citizens United

Elections should be decided by voters, not by whoever can spend the most outside money.

How we'd do it
  • Support a constitutional amendment allowing Congress and the states to regulate independent political spending
  • In the meantime, require full disclosure of the real donors behind political ads
  • Close loopholes that let foreign-connected money reach American campaigns
03

Implement Ranked-Choice Voting

Let voters rank candidates so winners earn a true majority and no one has to worry about "spoiling" an election.

How we'd do it
  • Adopt Ranked-Choice Voting in primaries and general elections, building on states like Maine and Alaska that already use it
  • Give voters the freedom to support the candidate they actually believe in
  • Reward candidates who build broad coalitions instead of narrow bases
