Public financing. No private funding of any kind. Six-week primary and post-nomination campaign seasons. Weekly televised debates. Balloting on weekends. And no paid political ads, period. Yeah, I realize that these can only ever be affected in the aggregate by way of Constitutional amendment(s), and while the odds are slim of making it happen, we can improve them by electing people to office who will pledge to propose and vote for them. Anyone who pledges this---even Republicans!---deserves our support. Anyone who doesn't---even Democrats!---doesn't. It really is that simple sometimes.
