Except for personal stuff. But any action that will impact anyone outside of their family should be public.
Nope. All of it. It should be unappetizing to take power over others. If someone wants to have authority to afflict thousands if not millions of people with their existence, they don't get to have any space to hide their crimes. If they don't want to make that sacrifice to keep us safe, they can just stay home. No one is forcing them to seek public office.
I'd argue that medical records and maybe travel info should also be open. Though travel info should be on a delay of say 2 months.
I'd argue relevant medical records. I don't need to know if an elected official has diabetes or is on PrEP, but I do need to know if they're off their mental health medication, if they're experiencing dementia, or if they're dead/dying.
Personally, I'd be very against medical records. Some folks have diseases and disorders which are grossly misunderstood by the public at large, and even civil servants deserve to return to a normal life after they leave office.
