Poorly sourced (only one of the four cited sources actually passes the WP:RS test) WP:BLP of a person whose only substantiated notability is as an unsuccessful candidate in a party primary. As always, this is not a claim that passes WP:NPOL, and nothing else here is properly sourced enough to get him past a different inclusion standard instead. Delete.

• Delete Outside the US presidential race, loosing a primary pretty much always means you are a non-notable politician at that level (although many failed senate candidates have held other notable offices). There might be exceptions for those with especially indepth coverage, but Traux lacks that. He may or may not do something to become notable in the future, but he has not yet.
