Subject fails WP:N and WP:V. RUnning in a primary does not confer notability, and the only references are external links to a defunct campaign website. Other then that, the subject is primarily a blogger, and former labor union leader, although the National Writers Union piece makes no mention of him and I see no reason why any pertinent info on him (the insurance issue and the New York Times case) need to be mentioned outside of the main article on the Union.
