Failed candidate for political office. Completely fails WP:GNG, as a WP:BEFORE search revealed no sources beyond passing mentions. Curbon7 (talk) 14:46, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete About the only time he seems to have run in connection with a major political party, he lost in the primary. He is not notable as a politician because he was never elected, and the coverage he has gotten as a candidate does not rise to the level to justify an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. and John Pack Lambert. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 20:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they didn't win — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one — but this is referenced almost entirely to WordPress blogs and raw tables of election results that are not support for notability. The bars he would have to clear are either (a) preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him a Wikipedia article anyway, or (b) a credible reason why his candidacy was markedly more notable than everybody else's candidacies, but neither of those things are in evidence here at all.
