It's a moot point now that she's won the by-election, but the creator is still advised for future reference that candidates do not get Wikipedia articles during the by-election campaign just for the fact of being candidates in and of itself — until she wins the by-election, the only way she can qualify for an article before election day is to have already had enough preexisting notability to already qualify for an article completely independently of her status as a candidate. But this article as written didn't show that, so it should properly not have been created until after she was declared the winner of the byelection on June 13. Again, moot point now, but be aware of this for next time: either show and source that she already had preexisting notability before she was named a candidate at all, or else you have to wait until she wins.
