Person standing for office (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

candidate

(Other definitions for candidate that I've seen before include "one seeking election" , "prospective employee?" , "Competitor" , "Applicant, nominee 99)" , "Job applicant or political aspirant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
