Yes. But only if they are completely transparent about their convictions, and let the voting public decide

 @9D9MP8Hanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial or sexual crime and politicians should not be allowed to run for office if they are under investigation for a crime.

 @B5KRNZ4answered…2mos2MO

if they can prove that the crime will never be committed again then they should get a chance, but if the crime was not a small one they shouldn't be allowed back.

 @B5GP9PPanswered…2mos2MO

politicians should not be allowed in office that have been convicted of a crime excluding lesser crimes done as a youth like petty theft

 @B499ZS9 answered…4mos4MO

Depends on the crime of course, but a crime that could result in a punishment of greater than or equal to 1 week in prison should prevent running for office.
