availability for work various activities running for office
Summary:

At issue: nearly 3 months while campaigning as a Council Woman. It is doubtful that once aware of her political aspirations, prospective employers would be interested in employing her for a short duration, fearing that if she were elected she would then leave their employ.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work various activities running for office
Summary:

The sole fact that an unemployed person is seeking public office (conducting a campaign to win a seat in the Provincial Legislature) does not show that he is unavailable. Good job search. The political campaign itself can be construed as a search for employment.
