    I think the local DNC would have to “allow” it. Otherwise you’d run as something-other-than-Democratic.

    But all it would cost you is time, and maybe a small filling fee to find out.

    I say, go for it! It would at least shake up the geriatric incumbents a bit.

      The local DNC could potentially work against you but they can’t stop you from running in the primary as long as you meet the requirements.

        Awesome, that’s good to know! I just assumed they picked if there would be competition due to how some Republicans threatened to “primary” incumbents that didn’t fall in line.
