It's a tough game, but one that more and more citizens are playing. What made you decide to pursue civil service through an elected office (or to run for re-election)? How have you balanced your home life and your political duties? What did you do to prepare for your run for office? Which tactics helped you most in raising money or advertising? Did your spouse and/or children play a part in your decision and campaign? How did you handle a move from a corporate career to politics...or re-entering civilian life at the end of your term?
Share your stories and solutions to help the next generation of American civil servants!
