The article
List of third party performances in United States elections has numerous examples of candidates in statewide elections who exceeded 5% of the vote, but are not notable. Focus on Wyoming and Idaho especially. This applies to candidates of all third parties. It is also worth noting that he only exceeds 5% in two of the five polls listed in the article.

WP:POLITICIAN. Un-elected candidate for public office who does not have any other claim to notability and does not meet the primary notability criterion.--

WP:NPOL. Just being a candidate for office does not make an individual notable.

Delete. Being an as yet unelected candidate for political office is not a notability claim that gets somebody into Wikipedia in and of itself, polling above 5% is not a notability boost, and the article isn't referenced to even a fraction of enough
reliable source coverage to clear
WP:GNG.
