WP:BLP of a suburban mayor, not properly referenced as the subject of enough significant or substantial coverage to pass WP:NPOL #2. This is written like a campaign brochure, saying far more about the themes she campaigned on than it says about anything she did or didn't do about those issues once she was actually the mayor -- but mayoral notability hinges much more strongly on the ability to write about the latter than the former. And as for sourcing, other than one citation to the city's own self-published website about itself (a primary source which is not support for notability at all), this is otherwise referenced entirely to a community weekly hyperlocal, with no evidence whatsoever of any coverage in major media. As always, mayors are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- a mayor's notability depends on being able to write much more substance, and cite much better sourcing, than this.
