Well, I used to be an activist of the Democratic party, and was the chairman of the "University club of democrats" for 2 years (if that counts). But after Djindjic was assassinated, I quit everything.

I did a ton of lobbying in my former job and also was a candidate for the state legislature.

Not yet. But that's the plan. One of my best friends worked in politics for six years. She ended up leaving, because she said it was soul-destroying. The only reason she lasted as long as she did and had permanency rather than term-of-government was because she wasn't factional. I don't know if I could be that neutral.

My MIL worked in politics for nearly 30 years. Now she writes policy. She's a cool lady.

I am far too honest a person to have a job in politics.

I'm a low-level bureaucrat, planning on working up. Not sure if that counts.
