Doesn't satisfy either WP:BIO or WP:SOLDIER. The article does claim he "held various political offices in Westchester County", but doesn't say what they were, making it unlikely that they were significant. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Holding political office at the county level of government is not a claim that gets a person over WP:NPOL, so his eligibility for a Wikipedia article rests entirely on either passing WP:SOLDIER, or being able to cite enough sources to get over WP:GNG. But the sources here aren't substantively about him — almost every one of them merely namechecks him, verifying his existence but failing to confer enough notability to warrant permanent coverage in an encyclopedia.
