Committee officer here, yes we absolutely need more primary candidates.

My district recently had to pick candidates to fill a vacancy created by a retiring state legislator, and hardly any candidates put themselves forth for consideration. Of those that did only one could be charitably called leftist or progressive.

More importantly, we need people to actually show up.

Like half the precincts in my district have no committee officer at all. In my decade long tenure representing my precinct for the party, no one has ever challenged me for the position, even though I barely fulfill the obligations.
