I've considered similar things, and this is what I've come up with.
If you want to influence politics, you have to get involved with it. To get started, try the ground floor. Look to attend city or county council meetings. Go to town hall meetings that are actually representative of the town, rather than just being a political stunt. Find out what the local issues are and speak your voice on them.
After a while of particpation, you may look into getting elected into a position in local government. Frequently these positions are 'part time', as in you aren't expected to be spending all your time in the office, but rather attend the council meetings, and attend official functions.
Once in the door like that, you can start looking at moving up the food change. Local --> state --> federal. Congresscritters often have humble beginnings in local government. Alternately, if you have gained the attention of a recently elected official, you might get an appointment to an office in which you have expertise.
