I don’t know the local laws, but Federal workers have the Hatch Act, which specifically forbids that sort of behavior.

This is actually a big job, as there are only 5 members of the LA County Board of Supervisors, but 9.8 million people in the county, meaning that each district is comprised of 1.95 million people, or almost 3 congressional districts’ worth of people.

The annual pay is $181,292, or slightly more than she earned as a member of Congress.
