I just think you need to remember that the types of things that you've highlighted as motivating you to get involved in politics are the rare black and white good versus evil scenarios. If you take office I suspect you won't find yourself voting for a great and glorious increase in your school budget, but instead agnozing over whether to fire five sanitation workers or fund the Middle School's new computer lab. When you add in emotions and the neccessity of political alliances and "gaming the system" to even stay in office, your dreams of making marked improvements in your community are quickly brought down to earth.

If you acknowledge this and still have the desire, then go for it. Many local governments are run by complacent old people who could use some stirring up.
