May a City employee participate in a get-out-the-vote and canvassing effort organized by a local branch of a political party and a Philadelphia based candidate for State Representative?
No. Although the employee in question would be permitted to volunteer for a non-local campaign, a candidate for State Representative is considered a candidate for local office if the district they seek to represent includes any part of Philadelphia.
