In positions of influence or authority - especially politics, visual cues and 1st impressions are important. And establishing public trust is #1 - regardless of whether a candidate intends to keep their promises.
Just as dark suits convey professionalism, leadership, and credibility; being clean shaven establishes trustworthiness, and openness. Whereas human psychology may interpret a beard as concealment.
