Yet another campaign brochure, sourced only to a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE, about a person "notable" only as a candidate for elected office — which, as usual, is not a claim of notability that satisfies WP:POLITICIAN. As always, he'll qualify for an article if he wins the election, but is not entitled to one just for having his name on a ballot. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 00:06, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
