 * Delete per WP:NPOL. Routine coverage of local politician in local media. Nothing to establish GNG.  A major local political figure that received significant press coverage would be someone like Joe Arpaio or Rudy Giuliani, not a mayor of a small city with only expected local coverage.

 * Delete. Purely local coverage of local municipal politics always exists — the "significant press coverage" condition for local politicians in WP:NPOL means that the media coverage in question has to demonstrate the politician in question as significantly more notable than the norm for his or her class of topic. Mayors of major cities get a presumption of notability just for being mayors, but mayors of small towns do not — for a smalltown mayor, passage of NPOL #3 is achieved in one of two ways: either the coverage nationalizes into sources far beyond the geographic range in which such coverage is merely expected, and/or the local coverage volumizes to the point where a much more substantial article can be written than this, delving much more deeply into stuff he did as mayor than two PR-skewed sentences about downtown revitalization, a generic issue that every mayor in every town is grappling with in the age of the suburban big box store. And "youngest mayor" is not an automatic notability freebie, either — every single town or village that has had mayors at all will always have had its own youngest-ever mayor, and at 33 he's old enough that there's a lot of room left over for somebody else to come along in the future and outyouth him again. If he were the youngest person ever to be elected as a mayor anywhere in the entire United States, there might be a notability case on that basis — but merely being the youngest person to serve as mayor of one specific town is not a distinction that can create an automatic "every town with mayors automatically gets its own youngest mayor into Wikipedia free" card.
