Non-notable political candidate. I could find no significant coverage beyond his two failed runs for the US House, and even that was only token coverage for a noncompetitive seat. So, a clear failure of WP:POLITICIAN. -LtNOWIS (talk) 06:52, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Agree, not notable. Just a sometime candidate. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 18:49, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Ordinary, unelected candidates need to demonstrate notability in terms of published coverage beyond the campaign itself. I see ample coverage of the campaign, but that's about it. Carrite (talk) 18:41, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Served in the military, once a teacher, now a pilot. Ran twice for Congress, once as an independent, once as a Democrat. High Beam search shows only routine election coverage; could find no more information on him than is in the article. May be a patriotic, intelligent, hard working person but no different from many other such people except for Congressional runs. As for that, hundreds of people run for non-competitive seats mainly because they do not like to see people run unopposed - and their views may differ some. None of this is or shows significant coverage and none of it is enough to meet wikipedia notability criteria - unless they are to be expanded to include everyone who ever has run or will run for Congress regardless of any other notable accomplishments or traits.
