Delete. WP:BLP of a political organizer with no strong evidence of notability for anything more than existing. The referencing here consists of one article about the end of her personal relationship with Eliot Spitzer, and one article which namechecks her existence a single time as a giver of soundbite in an article about something else -- there's no substantive coverage being cited here about her work. As always, political campaign managers are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles the moment it becomes nominally possible to verify that they exist -- they earn Wikipedia articles by being the subject of enough substantive media coverage to pass WP:GNG.

 * Delete Most of the attention she has received is more related to who she was dating than her. A non-notable party functionary.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:28, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comments - I found many sources that quote her or refer to her as a top strategist, as well as specifically at the NY Times. Admittedly, there's not a lot about her. Is this WP:TOOSOON? Can we userfy this? Can we discuss this one more? Bearian (talk) 12:20, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete No real claim to notability. No significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources AusLondonder (talk) 06:11, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: Nothing in the sources provided or found indicates that the subject is more than a political functionary going about her business. The various in-role quotes do not add up to anything substantial about her. Fails WP:POLITICIAN, WP:BASIC. AllyD (talk) 08:34, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
