Depending on what you mean by "involved in politics" - perhaps.

Certainly if you look at the history of both Israel and the early church you will see many examples of those "in politics" who were also redeemed (Paul writes that the household of Caesar greets those to whom he is writing in Philippians).

Likewise, Nehemiah was cupbearer to the king, and Daniel had a high rank in Babylon.

It is interesting to note that neither Daniel nor Nehemiah seemed to have aspired to a political rank, however.

Also see the Ethiopian Eunuch and Cornelius (a centurion of the Italian cohort - high enough in military ranking to have at least some political influence).
