 * Delete. Denton TX is not a global city for the purposes of securing the "inherent" notability of its city councillors, so the only way to make him notable for that is to show nationalizing coverage about him to establish that his significance transcends Denton alone. But being a candidate for higher offices that he did not win is also not a notability clincher in and of itself — a person has to hold a notable office, not just run for one, to be notable per WP:NPOL, and absent that he has to demonstrate that either (a) he had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him a Wikipedia article independently of the candidacy, or (b) his candidacy was significantly more special than everybody else's candidacies, for some reason that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance. But neither of those conditions are being demonstrated here either. Bearcat (talk) 18:55, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
