The constitutional amendment process has been neglected to our detriment.

A suggestion:

Only those who can vote for a candidate may contribute to their campaign for office.

More radical but perhaps more to the point:

The wealthy may not be involved in government nor politics. They’re too disconnected from the common man to be involved in their governance.

Not sure what you mean? If you're saying only American citizens eligible to vote can contribute to a candidate, no PACS, etc - I agree. One problem in doing this would be tracking/auditing contributors against an 'American citizens eligible' data base.

In my opinion, another problem we have is super-rich Americans having too much influence over candidates through their immense contributions.

So, what changes to voting and campaign laws would support electing representatives who better represent the interests of the people they represent. God knows, with party politics, mega-donors and globalist control of our institutions - the people are not represented today.

Thoughts?
