The stats that matter most

Politics is a setup-heavy route. Smarts matter, but so do money, patience, and a life clean enough that scandals do not kneecap the final push.

If your stats are shaky, start with the max stats guide before you commit to a politics run.

High smarts make the education ladder and office path smoother.

Money matters because campaign attempts are expensive.

A clean image matters because politics routes break easily when the life is chaotic.

Where players lose the route

If you are doing politics for prestige rather than roleplay, compare this route with doctor and other late-game careers in the requirements checklist.

Running too early without a money buffer.

Ignoring the lower offices that make the top office more realistic.

Letting crime, debt, or chaos trash the public image side of the run.
