Poorly sourced BLP of a person notable only as state-level chair of a fringe political party and unsuccessful election candidate. As always, this is not an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL -- to earn an article on this basis, a person has to clearly pass WP:GNG on the quality and depth and volume and range of their sources, not just be technically verifiable as existing. But the only source present here is a raw table of election results, which is not enough in and of itself. Bearcat (talk) 14:47, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to 2006 South Dakota gubernatorial election, where he is mentioned. Fails WP:NPOL, and I'm not finding the sort of coverage that would push him over the WP:GNG bar. Hog Farm Bacon 17:58, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
