You're talking about the level of disclosure that is usually reserved for competitive Congressional elections or other major offices. Local campaigns may get ugly, and accusation will get thrown, but petty details of a persons past rarely play into races for local office. I know people who hold local office and state representative seats that not only have dark pasts but are living pretty sordid lives right now, and they still get re-elected. Rumors will circulate but it doesn't get into the local paper.

I don't have a criminal record so I'm not worried. If you have a record for something you did while as a minor then I'm sure you could get it expunged so that it isn't available to the public.
