Thank you for your feedback; I was a little unclear on the notability guidelines but the link you provided helps. It sounds like the article is not notable because 1) the sources point to articles focused on the subject only and 2) the subject has not been elected to office at this time. It sounds like the only way to improve the article is to 1) add more sources including articles that focus on issues rather than the subject alone or 2) increase the scope of the article to include the upcoming election as a whole. Does that sound correct? I appreciate your help. Jessjones73 (talk) 14:57, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
