100% agree. Anyone taking on a major political office should have their finances be 100% transparent. No secretly selling off stock a few days ahead of major news breaking, no undisclosed “gifts”, no $100k “speaking engagements” without it at the very least being fully disclosed
Would it be a privacy issue for elected officials? Sure, but no one is forcing them to hold major political offices, and there are plenty others who would happily fill their shoes. The people most OK with complete financial transparency are the exact sorts we’d want in office anyways, so it’d actually help to self select
