Well they should be properly vetted by the party before they are listed as a candidate. This is politics so the assumption should always be you can't trust what you are told, but generally (and not just the UCP specifically) the parties don't do a great job vetting candidates. I'm surprised deleting all previous social media isn't now a requirement for a party to approve a candidate given how often we see the ghosts of social media past end (or at least derail) political careers.
