Running for office is not a reason a person gets a Wikipedia article. A person has to win the election and thereby hold office, not just be a candidate, to get an article because politics — the only other way a candidate gets an article on here without winning the election first is if he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason (such as having already been a state legislator) before becoming a candidate. For example, Hillary Clinton doesn't have an article because she ran for president last year and lost; she has an article because she already held the roles of First Lady, Senator for New York and Secretary of State before running for president.
