I think when a politician decides to run for an office, other than the one they have, they should have to resign any current elected post. Just like a down payment on a house, they should have something at stake, too. What other job can you just leave as much as you want, so you can go interview and campaign for a better one? Then, if you lose, just show back up like you had been there all along.
The only politician I can remember who did this was Bob Dole.
