Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a lawyer and unsuccessful political candidate, not properly referenced as passing our inclusion criteria for lawyers or politicians. As always, candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates per se -- the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for it, while candidates must demonstrate either (a) that they were already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason independent of their candidacy, or (b) that their candidacy has a strong claim to being much more special than other people's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring importance. But the only other potential notability claim here is that he was a policy analyst for the White House Domestic Policy Council, which is not an "inherently" notable role in the absence of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about his work in that role. But this cites no references that are covering him in the policy analyst context at all, and instead is cited entirely to a mixture of primary sources that are not support for notability at all (his own campaign website, his own staff profile on the self-published website of his own employer), and purely run of the mill local coverage of the election he ran and lost in, which is not the kind of coverage it takes to establish the permanent notability of an unelected candidate.

 * Delete (a) per the above discussion, (b) per my own standards for lawyers, and (c) his verifiably lack of media presence (for example, he has 1,318 followers on Titter, while I have almost 3 times as many). Bearian (talk) 19:18, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
