It's worth noting that many local and state offices are paid part time positions. Many people work a full time job and do work for a small local office on the side
Yep. I have a close family member that is a state legislator. I built their website, too. I also run other politician's websites. I know how much work and effort it takes to actually manage an official position. It's a lot and you have to sacrifice a lot. So it bugs me when people just throw that around "just run for office, then" like it's no big deal.
