A career in politics can take many different forms, like being elected to a political office or working behind the scenes on a politician’s staff. Politicians rely on a large team of advisors and administrators to reach an audience and gain enough support to make policy choices. A politician is someone who holds a government office or finds other ways to influence law and public policy. Politicians can work on a local or national scale and have influence over various bureaucratic processes and government decisions on behalf of the community they represent.
