Have you been in your position for a long time, or are you new to the game? Are you maybe apart of a family of politicians?

Suggested Characteristics
Politicians normally spend a lot of time studying and research to be the best they can be. A politician tends to also make many ties with other politicians and normally will flock with politicians in the same party. As a politician, you have to decide whether you are going to interact and reach out to the other parts of your governing body or if you are going to just sit and hope your plans make it through the political channels. You also need to decide if you want to attract the attention and love of the people or if you just wanna use the power you have now that you have it.

Judges are very important in the political sphere. They are the ones who ultimately can make sure that justice is sought accordingly and help to make sure matters are dealt with fairly and peacefully. You are the bearer of judicial review. Although judges' roles can sometimes be seen as less important than a normal politician, Judges actually just as much power. Being a judge however you must decide what type of judge you are. Do you handle civil cases or are you a criminal judge? Do you reside on the municipal level or are you apart of some sort of supreme court? These decisions are important in deciding your overall background as a judge.
