 * Delete. Sources found are all about his running for DFL candidates for the Minnesota Sixth District 6 seat where he dropped out of the race. Fails WP:NPOL for he is not an elected politician in state level and fails WP:GNG for not having WP:SIGCOV of independent, reliable sources outside his political campaign as a candidate. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:04, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NPOL as a failed primary candidate. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:19, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete even making it to the general election would not have made him notable. Wikipedia is not meant to be an archive of campaign bios, but this is all we have here. The fact that this page has somehow survived 14 years shows how much we have not overcome the problems of our non-existent notability policies before 2006. I hadn't realized we still had only primary sourced articles that were that old.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:41, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Kablammo (talk) 14:01, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. People don't get articles just for being unsuccessful candidates in political party primaries, but this neither makes nor reliably sources any claim that he had preexisting notability for other reasons independently of running in a primary. Bearcat (talk) 19:02, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete'. Fails WP:NPOL as Mortensen is an unsuccessful primary candidate. He has no WP:SIGCOV. The article reads like a campaign brochure.  Lefcentreright  Talk  (plz ping) 11:11, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 22:17, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
