- Delete Sounds like she handles the books/funding for the town, non-notable position. Rest of the stuff given isn't GNG. Towns issue bonds. Routine stuff. Oaktree b ( talk) 14:56, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

- Draftify: Does not appear to be notable at the moment, but is very likely to be in Congress, so draftification is a valid WP:ATD for the moment. Curbon7 ( talk) 16:11, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Drafify per Curbon7. Move to mainspace when/if she is elected to Congress in November. Sal2100 ( talk) 18:29, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Draftify: as valid WP:ATD, pending election. Djflem ( talk) 13:49, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete or draftify. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in future elections they have not yet won; the notability bar for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one. But town supervisor is a local office, not an inherently notable one the way the House of Representatives is, so being a town supervisor is not the kind of "preexisting notability for other reasons" claim that would exempt a candidate from having to win the seat first, and this article claims absolutely nothing that would make her markedly more significant than the norm. Obviously the article can be recreated in November if she wins the seat, but nothing here is grounds for her to already have a Wikipedia article today. Bearcat ( talk) 14:39, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
