WP:BLP of a politician notable only as a representative on a local school board. This is not a claim of notability that passes WP:NPOL — the lowest level of office that entitles a person to an article is the state legislature — and the referencing here is extremely reliant on primary and user-generated sources, so WP:GNG isn't passed either.

 * Delete per nom - a local politician without major RS coverage. If true that she was a member of the former Wisconsin's Governor Tommy Thompson cabinet then she is definitely notable but I couldn't verify it. I checked her resume on the local Eau Claire school board and it wasn't mentioned there - if she had been in a cabinet-level position then it should have been listed on her resume there. If this position would be verified then my vote would change.  Royal broil  02:18, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, the article isn't actually claiming that she was a member of Thompson's cabinet — it's claiming that her husband, David Duax, was. But even his article isn't actually claiming that for himself — and I also can't find any source which suggests that he ever actually held a cabinet position either; at best he appears to have been deputy director of a single government-owned agency. It appears that the creator of this article simply overinflated the importance of the job that her husband actually held. Bearcat (talk) 01:21, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. Long career, but nothing that meets any prong of WP:BIO. Only secondary coverage appears to be local to the town, which matches the lack of a wider claim of notability. czar ⨹   04:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
