Until some have any shot at winning none are going to try. Takes a LOT of money and time. When others see "good" people run, only to have at least half of the people they are trying to win over bad mouth them, call them names, say they will write in someone rather than vote for them? Why would anyone else try? As long as voters who claim they want freedom have a great time shooting themselves in foot every couple years, few good people are going to try to run.Ironically there will be few lessons learned from our current political situation. Many people will still clearly see issues gone wrong, mandates, US captives, inflation, shipping, ect then say, well so and so is mean or racist (regardless of race).
Voting for a celebrity is fine given they have a record of successfully attaining something useful. Red carpet appearances and sad puppy commercials aren't enough. The PNW still don't have any conservative or non liberal candidates I am aware of. I haven't even heard of any 3rd party alternatives.
