Why do candidates run in Non-competitive districts?

[Anonymous]

Why is someone like Vega, Yuripzy Morgan, Nicole Ambrosse, Heather Mizuer, Jeff Warner etc. run in districts that they CANNOT win? These are that are NOT COMPETITIVE, yet they chose to waste money on a loss. Why is that?

They’d rather candidates run unopposed, giving voters fewer choices?

NP. I think it’s a reasonable question, OP isn’t saying they shouldn’t be allowed to run, just wondering what the motivation and incentive is to put time and money into an election campaign that you know you cannot win.

This. They are building or maintaining name recognition, learning to run or perfect campaigns. I suppose in some cases, they just want to give friends and families jobs for a bit.
