 * Delete. Serving as a county supervisor is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass in and of itself. He could still qualify for an article if enough media coverage could be shown to get him over #2 ("major local political figures who have received significant press coverage") — but three pieces of purely local coverage is not enough to do that, because every county supervisor in any county could always show three pieces of local media coverage. At this level of government, what's required is to show that he's significantly more notable than the norm for that level of office — but nothing here, neither in the substance nor in the sourcing, demonstrates that at all.

 * Delete. Far below the level of sourcing required to meet NPOL or BLP. No compelling assertion of notability compared to the thousands of other county supervisors nationwide. If I read this information correctly, this fellow wasn't even elected by county voters, but was appointed when a previous officeholder died. BusterD (talk) 13:09, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom and above editors. Clearly does not meet either WP:GNG or WP:NPOL.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:19, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
