It's also worth noting that people with undisclosed skeletons in their closet are blackmailable. So even if they represented your interests in the past that all ends once someone puts them on a leash. This is why even if you make no moral judgements there are pragmatic reasons to not have such people in office.
To be fair, that's pretty much every politician. The whole thing is a swamp and IMO, we need to eject all of them into the sun and start over.
