Fails WP:NPOL and pretty much all coverage are from his state senate and congressional campaigns. Maybe redirect to 2006 United States House of Representatives elections in New York? GPL93 (talk) 21:56, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON - I've heard of him, but not more than any other candidate for public office. We can always re-create an article if he gets elected to state or federal office. Bearian (talk) 23:04, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win, this doesn't even try to claim or source that he had preexisting notability that would have gotten him an article for other reasons independent of the candidacy, and a small smattering of the merely expected local campaign coverage in the local media is not a free pass over WP:GNG that would exempt a candidate from having to pass NPOL by winning.

 * Delete, a person who becomes a candidate in the elections but without success is not considered as notable. Nikoo.Amini (talk) 17:24, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete New York County office holders are not notable, just because they call them "legislators" instead of commissioners or council members or judges as they do in other states, does not make them notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:57, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
