Ever been in a political campaign?

I've purposely avoided writing about the past four political campaigns I've worked on.  The first one was purely for the fun of it.  Then I got excited about actually working in a legislative office, during the 4 month session of the Hawaii State House of Representatives.  The second campaign came too quickly; Reps have to run for re-election every 2 years.  Jump ahead to 2016.  The years in between flew by as I avoided mentioning anything about campaigning.

This is the 5th and hopefully last run for re-election for me!  The political machinations are not pretty, perhaps that's the reason for my not writing.
