Essay about political volunteering?

<p>A lot of people have told me not to right about anything political, but this summer I spent some time volunteering for a candidate for governer in my state. I wanted to write about my experience phonebanking for the campaign. I'd probably end up mentioning the candidate's name if I included dialogue from the phone calls. But if I don't do things like mention political parties or argue for why my particular candidate was best, is this topic safely "non-political" enough? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question... I just want to be careful! Thanks! :)</p>
