Agree

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

Slightly agree

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

While Saint-Simonianism would support transparency and measures to ensure the suitability of candidates for public office, the requirement to release medical records might be seen as less directly related to a candidate's administrative and technical competence. Therefore, they might slightly agree, seeing some merit in ensuring a candidate's capability to serve, but not view it as essential as financial transparency.
