At which level within the hierarchy of the US office do individuals aspiring to be part of it tend to be perceived as driven by a strong desire for power? (lemm.ee)

A lot of people would describe people who want to be the president as people who shouldn't be president, but I've never heard someone describe someone who would describe someone who wants to be mayor as that. When does the office reach a level of influence that it begins to attract individuals driven by a craving for power?

School board is the lowest level of government that I've observed narcissistic nazi psychopaths. Well, the lady at the counter at the driver's license place, too. But she's not elected.

Would HOA president/board members be above or below School board?
