That is one difference between working for a private company and a government job.
When I worked for the Federal government in Washington DC, it was 100% illegal to ask for political donations of anyone or to even wear a campaign button when on the job. This was the Hatch Act. No matter whose administration it was in, this was very strictly enforced.
One of my co-workers had a funny campaign poster he had gotten from a friend. It was for a Sheriff in some Southern state like Mississippi and the candidate's name was "Bubba" something and the picture on the poster showed a stereotypical Southern Sheriff. My co-worker was told this was a violation of the Hatch Act (even though he had it up only for humor) and he had to remove it immediately.
