I know several lawyers who were previously in the political space, and I know of many politicians who were previous lawyers.Just to address some of your worries:•You’re entitled to your political opinion as an individual. Working in a law firm myself, you see that political conversations are frequent. Law firms become concerned if you say something in public/social media something that’s potentially taken as voicing the firm’s voice. Policies are put in place to mitigate those issues when you’re an employee.•They’re unlikely to question your commitment to law as a career based off your involvement alone. They’ll look at you as a whole and determine your motivations, which can come from either your legal or non-legal experience. What matters is how you demonstrate your motivations. If you were asked why law and why not politics, then is your opportunity to explain why and cast away any doubt they may have.I’m sure you know all this but it’s just a reminder really that it sounds like you have some great experience to use, so you should!</blockquote>
