The only thing voters should be told by a candidate are: 1. What have they done to gain experience that makes them a good fit for the position to which they are seeking election; 2. What they plan to do if they get elected; 3. Where they stand on issues that are important to voters. Period.
If the voters want to know about a candidates criminal record, they can go find out themselves - pretty sure Michael Vik's conviction and jail sentence are a matter of public record.
