Delete. Candidates for office are not automatically eligible for articles just for being candidates — since he didn't win the election, to be considered notable enough for an article he would have to demonstrate that he was already eligible for a Wikipedia article for some other reason independent of the candidacy itself (namely, his career in business.) But this cites no
reliable sources at all — the only "reference" present in it at all is his own
self-published campaign website.

Delete just not seeing any passage of
WP:GNG or any other measure here.--

Delete as an unelected politician. My personal sentiments are that we should be including all major party candidates for national office, whether they win or not, but consensus is clear that I'm in a small minority on the matter.
