This is one of the downsides of becoming a public figure. As soon as you do anything to put yourself in the public light, you are a public figure.
When you run for office, you are subject to the same scrutiny, and unfortunately, your family is too.
Anyone who is considering a run for office - even your local city council - should realize this.
