Delete candidates for office will get news coverage, but we have decided not all candidates are notable. Subject does not pass notability guidelines.
Delete. Unelected candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just because some campaign coverage exists — campaign coverage always exists for all candidates in all elections, so every candidate would always clear GNG if that were all it took. Rather, to get a candidate into Wikipedia, what would need to be shown is that either (a) he already had enough preexisting notability to qualify for a Wikipedia article for some other reason anyway, or (b) the campaign coverage exploded significantly out of proportion to what most other candidates could show. But neither of those things is being demonstrated here at all.
