I don't think this one passes WP:POLITICIAN. Town and county level politicians are not normally considered notable enough for articles on Wikipedia. While he has been mentioned in a Washington Post article or two, the rest of the media coverage about him is also purely local level. His age at election might be a mitigating factor.
