I can relate as well, for years my husband worked "for the State" and every four years with new people appointed to head the state departments, things would change. Eventually one of those changes put my husband out of a job. In retrospect it worked out well. Make a list of all the people who know something about your work and network, network, network. My husband found new employment with the help of people he had worked with who knew of something that was opening up and referred him to it. Others gladly gave him references. One good thing about politics is that Judge you work with probably knows a LOT of people. Don't be afraid to let him know that you would welcome any leads. And don't be afraid to seek comfort from your animals (We got to keep this pet related).
