Any Anabaptists Who Do Participate In Politics

[General Mung Beans]

One of the more notable beliefs of the Anabaptists/Mennonites was their belief that while government should be obeyed people shouldn't participate in politics.

However I've read that Amish do vote in local elections (though not national ones) and even then I heard reference on a talk show of someone in Ohio convincing the Amish to vote Republican indicating at least some do.

It will depend on what Mennonite community you go to and which group you are talking about.
Some Amish will vote, even in national elections. Ditto to other Mennonite groups. It varies a lot from one church to the next, even in the same community.
Usually it is only the liberals who will run for an elective office although I have heard of Amish running for positions on the school board.
