WI: Earlier Reagan Career

Though he was into acting until 1965, Reagan was eligible to run for his first office at the age of 25 - he could have run for Congress in 1936. What if he had not gone into acting at all and had gone directly into politics? Or what if he went into politics in the 1940s? '50s? Early '60s? What would have happened to Ronald Reagan?
 
During the 30's and 40's he was a committed democrat and a new deal supporter so things would have been different to say the least if he'd gone into politics then.
