Contested PROD. Subject is a candidate for office who did not win. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG as lacking in depth coverage outside of the campaign. There are some sources, but no WP:LASTING impact. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:45, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete This article is a prime example what’s wrong with Wikipedia. Too much agenda here. Until she actually wins an office, not as a running mate, being a “female politician” is not notability. Many female politicians ran, won, and lost in 2018, not all of them were notable enough for articles for now. Trillfendi (talk) 03:23, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

 * A possible redirect target for a losing candidate for Idaho's Lieutenant Governor in 2018 is 2018 Idaho elections. --Enos733 (talk) 06:12, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2018 Idaho elections. Failed political candidate, doesn't pass WP:NPOL. No coverage of note that I can see prior to the election. Icewhiz (talk) 07:57, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2018 Idaho elections, doesn't pass WP:NPOL. GPL93 (talk) 14:33, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they didn't win — and the fact that the race happened to be between two women, thus ensuring that the office would be held by a woman for the first time regardless of which woman actually won it in the end, is not in and of itself a thing that makes the losing candidate special. But there's no credible claim of preexisting notability for other reasons present here at all, nor evidence of enough media coverage to make her candidacy more special than most other non-winning candidates' candidacies either.

 * Redirect name to 2018 Idaho elections, How many times do we have to say this? WP:NPOL requires actually winning an election.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  19:24, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
