Those are two groups that neither would benefit from a close examination.

Unless you go into office with a public reputation for liberal social/dating/sexual attitudes already in place, I suspect you're pretty well stuck with the typical expectation that you'll keep your nose clean while you're there. I don't think anyone held it against the then-single governor of California Jerry Brown that he dated and at times lived with women. It's when Giuliani trashed a marriage while in office that he got into trouble. I don't follow New York politics that closely, but I'd hazard a guess that it wasn't The War of the Roses on the day he went into office?

Not saying one or the other is a reasonable expectation, but they seem to be in place anyway.
