Agree

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

While left-wing ideologies strongly support transparency, the requirement to release medical records might be seen as less universally supported due to privacy concerns. However, the overall push for transparency in a candidate's background might make this appealing to some within the ideology, especially if it pertains to ensuring a candidate's capability to serve.

Disagree

No, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to

While respecting privacy, left-wing ideologies are more likely to prioritize the need for transparency and accountability over personal respect for privacy in the context of public service, viewing the release of tax returns as a necessary requirement rather than a voluntary gesture of good faith.

No, tax returns have nothing to do with their ability to perform their duties
