Considering the political machine is responsible for most of those, the only way to enact a large enough change is to keep pushing your disapproval online and to your locally-elected official(s) with reasonable arguments why. If the public opinion turn on those who currently hold a seat they'll have to do something about it or they'll lose their power, and that's the only thing they ultimately care about.
