    Personally I think that elected officials are public property, and they should have to wear body cameras and/or have cameras follow them 24/7, and the footage should be reviewable by anyone. Carve out minor exemptions for solo bathroom visits and sleeping in the same room as a spouse, provided no phones are in the room when a camera isn’t present.

    If you don’t want the scrutiny, don’t run for office
