Unsuccessful candidate in an election. No other claim to notability--virtually all coverage about him related to that campaign. HangingCurve Swing for the fence 20:30, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:NPOL. All candidates for office receive routine coverage during elections, this does not mean they have lasting notability per our standards. Notability is not inherited from "famous" relatives. AusLondonder ( talk) 06:34, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- delete unelected candidates for congress are rarely notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 16:28, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:NPOL, coverage is only from the election. SportingFlyer talk 09:44, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. People don't get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they didn't win, but there's no other credible claim of preexisting notability for other reasons here and there's nowhere near enough reliable source coverage to deem him a special case who's markedly more notable than every other unsuccessful candidate in every other district who also got this much campaign coverage.
