Delete even second place finishers in a congressional race are not notable. Those who finish 4th with less than 2% of the vote are not at all close to notable, and Nost's book does nothing for him either.

Delete. An unelected candidate for office does not get a Wikipedia article because candidate, in and of itself — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he qualified for a Wikipedia article for some other reason independent of his candidacy, then he must win the election, not just run in it, to become includable on the basis of the election itself. But self-publishing a book does not make him notable either, and
primary-sourcing the article entirely to his own website about himself doesn't get him over
WP:GNG.

Delete does not meet
WP:NPOL as an unelected candidate; otherwise, it's a vanity page.
