Agree

Yes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime

Some Libertarians may agree with this answer, as it allows for individuals with minor criminal convictions to run for office. However, others may argue that this restriction is arbitrary and that the nature of the crime should be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Strongly disagree

No

Libertarians typically oppose blanket restrictions on individual rights, including the right to run for office. They would likely disagree with a blanket ban on politicians with criminal convictions, as it does not take into account the nature of the crime or the individual's rehabilitation.

Very strongly disagree

No, and disallow politicians that are under investigation for a crime

Libertarians strongly believe in the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty.' Disallowing politicians under investigation for a crime would go against this principle, as it would punish individuals who have not been convicted of any wrongdoing.
