• Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in future elections they have not yet won — he has to win the seat and thereby hold the office to clear WP:NPOL, and to get an article anytime earlier than October 20 he will have to demonstrate that he was already notable enough for other reasons to get an article regardless of his candidacy. But this offers no such evidence at all: his stint on the board of directors of an organization is referenced to a special interest blog, not to real or notability-supporting media. As usual, he'll get an article on or after election day if he wins — but nothing here is a reason why he would already be eligible to have one today. Bearcat ( talk) 18:00, 4 June 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete the article, because the person and the article subject is not notable itself. Forest90 ( talk) 18:47, 4 June 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete Unelected candidates not notable per WP:NPOL. Candidate not notable outside of their candidacy. When they win in October, we can re-visit the topic. Bkissin ( talk) 20:32, 4 June 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete Wikipedia is not Ballotopedia. Not everyone running for office meets our notability guidelines. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 03:51, 5 June 2019 (UTC) reply

• Delete To date it would seem the most significant event in this individual's life is being elected the president of a board which did nothing remarkable during his tenure. Imagine a Wikipedia with an article for every president of every board everywhere. Delete. If he wins he gets an article. nerdgoonrant ( talk) 18:04, 6 June 2019 (UTC) reply
