10. Have you ever had to fill out an annual conflict of interest statement?

It covers a lot of things - gifts, outside business activities, political office, stock ownership above a certain threshold, etc. An employer has a right to expect its employees to be non-conflicted. If you refuse to clear a conflict, the employer is justified in firing you.

Most large companies have a written policy on conflicts (and numerous other aspects of employment) and I'm sure Marriott has one. I'd be very surprised if running for political office was not explicitly listed as a potential conflict. As an internal auditor, the policy almost certainly would have applied to her and after 11 years, she could not have been unaware of it. Beyond that, she would most likely have had to sign off that she understood the policy and agreed to abide by it. I've had to do this numerous times in my career with at least four different employers. The bottom line is that this isn't a 1st Amendment case and IMO, she would lose in circuit court.
