Poorly referenced
WP:BLP of a state political party chair. This is a role that can get a person into Wikipedia if she's the subject of enough
reliable source coverage about her work in that role to clear
WP:GNG, but not one that hands her an automatic
WP:NPOL pass just for existing -- but this isn't referenced to adequate reliable source coverage: there's one
primary source that cannot assist notability at all, one unreliable
blog that cannot support notability at all, two pieces of purely
routine coverage of her failure to win a seat when she ran for election to the state legislature (which is not a reason why a person gets a Wikipedia article either), and just one piece of coverage announcing her initial appointment as state chair with no evidence of sustained coverage of her work in that role being shown at all. This is not enough sourcing to make a party functionary notable for that fact alone.

Delete Laning has only received routine coverage relating to her position as chair of a sub-national branch of a political party. She has not received enough coverage to pass
WP:GNG.

Keep While there is plenty of routine coverage of Laning, (See HighBeam to confirm), the references cited in the article and those added by myself are meaty and not just namechecks. She was known for her work w/a non-profit first and then went on into politics for the first time in 2013. Passes GNG.
