If there was any real competition for the positions then you'd start to see effort more equivalent to the amount the position pays out, otherwise it will stay looking like a bunch of seats that have been gerrymandered so hard that no one reasonable and new, even if over-qualified, will bother to try to get elected.

Yeah, competition sounds cool and functional. Have any way of measuring their "worth" in mind?
Some benchmarks etc?
