Delete. WP:BLP of a person notable only as a not-yet-elected candidate in a pending election. As always, candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates -- if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that she was already eligible for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before becoming a candidate, then she does not become eligible for a Wikipedia article until she wins the election. This is based entirely on primary sources, all-candidate directories like Ballotpedia, and WP:ROUTINE coverage of the election itself, so there's no valid claim of preexisting notability here.

- It's not our role to document every single thing that happened at all, including bad articles about political candidates. If she wins the seat, her place in history will be assured and she'll get an article accordingly — but as of right now, her potential notability claim is still in the future, not in "history".
