Should convicted criminals be allowed to hold office?
Any office. Misdemeanor and/or felony. The question presumes said convicted criminals have completed their sentence.
Yes, if their constituents duly elected them.
I've also made an about-face on convicts voting. I see nothing in The Constitution saying a former convict loses their civil rights for life.
