Not quite - many of those other people will still be involved in the
internal workings of their parties even while doing whatever job they
normally do.  Some may also reappear as candidates in the next
national or city elections.

Most of the more serious parties would not endorse candidates for
office if those candidates had not already been involved in grass
roots activities (e.g. unpaid membership of a local committee) for
many years already.
