Delete: he could have an article, but not now. It's too early. Let's wait for the campaign period to begin.

Delete. This isn't one of those tricky candidate AfDs. There is absolutely no independent coverage of this guy that I can find. As he's running in a 70:30 Democratic disctrict, that's hardly surprising. Fails

Delete, biospam. Running for a candidacy does not magically make you notable. This could be speedied.

Strong Keep, This candidate is running an unopposed primary campaign, in a contested district. It is the people's right to have information on this guy.

There's a difference between "running unopposed" and "no one else has announced their candidacy yet". Even if he wins the candidacy, notability would still be debatable, this an encyclopedia, not a newspaper.

Delete clear spam for a candidate with no notability in reliable sources.

Delete Yet another candidate... Probably very worthy (but as I distrust the utterances majority of political figures, I also distrust most candidates). Notable? Not by Wikipedia's criteria. Please note that it is Wikipedia's criteria that apply. (It's our ball and our field - guess by whose rules the game is played?) Free space can be found at aboutus, LinkedIn and various others like MySpace. Quote: "It is the people's right to have information on this guy." It's up to him to give it out - but this is not a free hosting site. It is an encyclopaedia. When/if he is elected, he will probably merit an article. Not before.
