People put themselves up for public choice.
It is expected that they will examine their merits and also their shortcomings. It is sometimes a kind of real benefit to know who and what we are dealing with.
And sometimes gossip
Is it reasonable that all the laws of the Shahar are flexible for a person who puts himself up for election to a position knowing that people will dig, investigate, gossip, etc.
And in fact, he gave up in advance the status that every Jew is entitled to, “You shall judge your fellow man with justice,” etc.?

And so is the one who calls his friend by name.
A politician’s name that has already spread?
A name that illustrates its virtues or shortcomings?

A deputy needs to know who he is and what he is like.

Quite a bit has been written about this and you can find it online (there is an article by Rabbi Charlo in B’zahar). It is not reasonable to allow it in a blanket manner. And all this assuming that the laws of the Rabbis, etc., are actually laws. I commented on this here in the past.

Where and what did the rabbi comment that they are not really laws?
Not familiar with the subject, can I ask?

I didn't conduct a detailed discussion, I just made a comment. You can search on the website ‘Cafetz Chaim’ or something like that.
