The answer is "it depends". The states constitution may or may not impose restrictions for anyone with a Felony Conviction from holding public office. You would need to check your states constitution for specific details. Some states permit people to hold office if the conviction was more than 10 or 20 years prior. Also, some states specifically prohibit anyone from holding public office if they were convicted of a "crime which involves deceit, misappropriation of resources or breach of fiduciary responsibilites. Check your states constitution for the rules regarding your state or local area.
