I work fulltime. Can we filter for positions that do not require a fulltime commitment?

  That's going to very much vary depending on the size of the jurisdiction of the office but for NC they only have state level positions which will all be full time. As far as I know anything above a very small town position will be full time.

    > state level positions which will all be full time That depends on what we mean by "full-time". Here's a great wiki page regarding the amount of time each state legislature demands from members: https://ballotpedia.org/States_with_a_full-time_legislature https://ballotpedia.org/States_with_a_full-time_legislature From the stats there, there are 10 states where legislator is 80% of a full-time job (avg. salary: $68,599), 23 where it's 70% of a full-time job (avg. salary: $35,326), and 17 where it's 54% of a full-time job (avg. salary: $15,984). In many of these states, legislators need to supplement their income with jobs in the off-season (only 9 state legislatures are year-round positions, and all of those are the ones that offer the highest salaries).

      True but I think for the intent of the original question I think most of these offices are largely incompatible with a normal full time job. You'd likely need to be self employed or have an extremely flexible boss/employer because when you're working as a state representative or senator you won't be able to do you normal job.

        I think it would be pretty easy to land one of those flexible jobs if you were a state rep or senator. I can imagine plenty of construction firms, law offices, NGOs, and other institutions would be happy to carve out a part time role for the benefit of having your ear and knowledge.
