Yet another campaign brochure for yet another as-yet-unelected candidate in yet another party primary. As always, this fails WP:NPOL right on its face — a politician does not qualify for a Wikipedia article just for running in an election, but must normally either (a) win election to office, or (b) already be notable enough for other things that they'd qualify for an article on those grounds regardless of the candidacy. But neither of those have been demonstrated here; almost all of the sources are supporting statements about his campaign positions. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, but he's not entitled to keep a campaign brochure on Wikipedia in the meantime. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 02:50, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Article serving as campaign support. And if he wins, he'll still need some substantial refs. LaMona (talk) 22:11, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
