Question

In the community service section of an application, could you put that you volunteered for a mayoral campaign?

Answer 1

Absolutely.  But rather than making it about politics per se, I would focus it on your involvement and what difference you were hoping to make or what experience you gained.  Focus it on your motivations and skills gained rather than politics or even who your candidate was.  It could be as open as "Particpation in local politics, answering phones, providing transportation, etc. in order to support a candidate with a strong focus on local education." (for example..obiovusly what you did and why would be different)

Good luck!
