• Reforming campaign finance laws. King argues against out-of-state money in campaigns, and calls for mandatory disclosure of donors. He called the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling "one of the worst decisions in the Court’s history," opening floodgates of political action committee money form hidden donors.

• Supporting a “No Budget, No Pay Act.” Lawmakers wouldn't be paid if they can't pass a federal budget.

• Reforming the filibuster. "The Senate’s recent overuse of the filibuster has stalled progress on practically every issue of importance in America," King asserted on his campaign website. "The 60-vote requirement that it creates is not in the Constitution."

Among the reform options, he says, would be limiting the number of times per session a party can use the filibuster, or lowering the threshold to end debate down to 55 votes.
