The only claim for notability is the fact that probably as a publicity stunt at 17 he was a write-in candidate for a state senate primary (but withdrew after failing to receive the necessary votes to continue). The rest of the article covers his positions as a student senator at the University of Massachusetts. Clearly fails WP:NPOLITICIAN and this is a clear case of WP:BIO1E. This is a puff piece for an ambitious young man to further his policial ambitions and in my opinion way WP:TOOSOON. The only active editor is himself. Domdeparis (talk) 08:52, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as per nominator. A young wannabe-politician. He may at some point become notable but for the moment, he's just a student. Neiltonks (talk) 12:03, 2 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete: per nom. Fails WP:PROMO, sources are almost all low-circulation county papers which push the "Golly, a 17 year old running for office!" WP:BIO1E angle.   Ravenswing   14:19, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. A person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a non-winning candidate in an election to the state legislature — and the fact that he would have become the youngest-ever holder of the office if he had won it does not provide a notability boost over other non-winning candidates. Furthermore, this is quite blatantly written as a campaign brochure rather than a genuine encyclopedia article. Bearcat (talk) 20:26, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
