Delete, non-notable candidate for public office (as US Congressman), fails WP:BIO. So far, he is only a candidate in the primary election; according to precedent, he should not have an article unless and until he wins both his party's nomination and the seat in the United States Congress. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:01, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete for now I know little about U.S. Congress, but I understand that if he makes it in he will be notable, and should therefore be kept. Delete until then.  Giggy  UCP 01:30, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT - No historic notability to this person.  He hasn't even won his party's primary Corpx 03:00, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for now. If he beats a well-funded, nine-term incumbent in a party primary with no obvious scandals brewing, then we can take another look.  But barring McDermott retiring or dying, I'll put a wager on that he doesn't clear 20% in the primary. Montco 03:30, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, Corpx and Montco. Has not even made the news in this election cycle. Bearian 19:04, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
