I think this would be a good start. I never got the point of reps who recieve millions of dollars of outside funding. Seems counter to the whole idea of a representative...
 
No. We have freedom of speech under the First Amendment. Not allowing someone to donate funds or support to a candidate outside their district would be unconstitutional.
 
I never really bought into the $$ == speech argument, although with media giants today and the clash of FoS when going against them, it may be a useful legal fiction :/
