Why not just use the "Miss America" method where if the winner wants/has to step down, the runner-up will assume the position?
I realize this would in practice mean the seat would automatically flip parties, outside of CA and LA. But maybe that would give legislators some incentive not to ditch their district in the middle of a term for self-serving reasons. It would also be particularly entertaining if the resignee were in a safe district where the other major party didn't even contest the seat, so they wind up getting replaced by a gadfly Libertarian/Green/independent for the remainder of the term.
