I believe admin_level=* is suitable for all government related features to
point out the administrative level, so yes

so we do not want to cover campaigning offices with the tag?
office=politician sounds as if it could cover different kind of facilities,
a campaign office for an individual politician but also a working office
(non public) and an office where the politician will meet with citizens.
Maybe the non-public working office will not be tagged like this. because
it will be inside a bigger structure where several of these offices are,
which will get some office=government tag.

Cheers,
Martin
