The biggest issue I see is the "lawmakers end up getting seriously owned by lobbyists" issue. I think that limiting, at the very least, to people who actively WANTED to be a lawmaker would solve several of your problems.

One of the main advantages of the random congress is that it doesn't favor people who want to be lawmakers. See HHGTTG.
