Minimally sourced WP:BLP of a person notable for holding purely local political office: he's the incumbent county assessor, and prior to that was a city councillor and ceremonial/rotational mayor of a small city within the county. Neither of these is an office that confers a free pass over WP:NPOL, however: it would be fine if he could be sourced well enough to demonstrate that he passed the "who have received significant press coverage" condition for local officeholders -- but there are just three sources here, and that's not enough. Every local officeholder on earth could always show three sources, so what's needed is evidence that he's significantly more notable than the norm for this level of office, not just evidence that he exists.

 * Update: Just for the record, the number of sources here has been upped from three at the time of nomination to six now. But of the three new sources that have been added, two are primary sources that cannot assist notability at all: a licensing database which nominally confirms that he once worked as a real estate agent but contributes nothing toward making that fact a notability claim, and his staff profile on the website of the county assessor's office. Which leaves us with four pieces of purely local media coverage — but that's still not enough to demonstrate that he's more notable than the norm for a local officeholder, because every local officeholder anywhere could always show four pieces of local media coverage.

 * Delete - clearly does not meet GNG; and doesn't come close to meeting WP:NPOL.  Onel 5969  TT me 04:38, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: Doesn't meet WP:NPOL, and to the extent someone tries to argue that Prang is more notable than the average county assessor because he was involved in a sex scandal once, I'd argue that, irrespective of L.A. County Assessor status, WP:ONETHING should apply.  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  23:45, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
