Can working in a muni group/ Public Sector Consulting theoretically be an exit to politics/policy?

I’m charting out my career path and it seems like down the road, with muni experience - one could develop relationships with government representatives and move towards becoming a treasurer or comptroller then campaigning further.

Thoughts?
