"After serving for a year in Congress, I can report that Washington is systemically broken," said freshman Rep. Reid Ribble (R-Wis.), co-founder of the Fix Congress Now Caucus.

Ribble, who has pledged to limit his House tenure to eight years, said in a recent letter to colleagues: "Continuous campaigning, partisan politics, and careerism have caused members to focus more on getting re-elected than on serving the needs of our constituents and solving the critical issues of our time."
