 * Delete. As usual, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in forthcoming elections they haven't won yet — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason before standing as a candidate, then he has to win the election, not just run in it, to become notable as a politician. And, in fact, as of right now he's still only a candidate in a primary race that isn't even happening until August, so he's not even the confirmed general election candidate yet either. So no prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, but nothing here qualifies him to already have an article today. Bearcat (talk) 17:40, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not notable. Acnetj (talk) 20:26, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete As of this time, he fails WP:NPOL. If he gets elected, of course he's notable but not right now....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 13:43, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete merely being a candidate for US congress is not a pass on notability, and the sourcing is not substantial enough otherwise.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:57, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
