WP:BLP of a politician, notable primarily as a state political party chair and as an as-yet-nonwinning candidate in a future election. As always, neither of these are claims of notability that constitute a free pass over WP:NPOL -- state political party chairs can have articles if they can be shown to clear WP:GNG, but are not guaranteed articles just for existing if the sourcing isn't there, and unelected candidates for office get articles only if they already cleared a notability standard independently of the candidacy. But the sourcing here is more than 50 per cent primary sources (her own campaign website, her own social networking profiles, Ballotpedia), whereas the sources that do count as media coverage are all in the context of her candidacy itself (which is routine and not notability-assisting, because every candidate in any election always gets as much coverage for that as has been shown here.) So no prejudice against recreation on or after election day if she wins, but nothing here gets her an article today. Bearcat (talk) 03:37, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete candidates for office aren't notable under NPOL. It's possible she will become notable through GNG before the election based on her existing party role and coverage of her campaign, but she clearly isn't at this time. Power~enwiki (talk) 23:15, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent & non-local sources. czar  19:13, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
