Article talkpage
Please see my comments on the article talkpage. You appear to be focusing on creating a page in support of the subject's candidacy, rather than an article on the person. You need to substantiate notability that does not depend on cadidacy, as in general, unless someone is already an incumbent, a politician isn't notable until they're actually elected. That isn't always the case, but usually that's because there's another reason for notability, good or bad. Please read WP:BIO and WP:POLITICIAN, and try to craft a neutrally-worded biography sourced to reliable third-party media that can substantiate notability. And remember that you have a declared conflict of interest and must follow best practices in such cases: see WP:COI.  Acroterion   (talk)   21:49, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
