WP:BLP of a person notable only as an as yet non-winning candidate in a future election. As always, this is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself -- if you cannot demonstrate and
properly source that she was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason besides being a candidate, then she has to win the election, not just run in it, to become notable as a politician. But this does not make any claim of preexisting notability at all -- all of the content outside of her campaign-related coverage itself is referenced to
primary sources, not to any evidence that she was getting media coverage for any of it at the time. And the campaign-related coverage itself does not make a candidate notable just for being a candidate, either — it just makes her a
WP:BLP1E, and because every candidate in every election always gets some campaign-related coverage, the existence of that coverage does not automatically get a candidate over
WP:GNG all by itself. As always, no prejudice against recreation in November if she wins the seat -- but nothing stated or sourced here entitles her to already have a Wikipedia article today.
Also, this is a
conflict of interest, as the page creator openly declares themself as a volunteer for the subject's campaign on their own userpage. As always, even if a person does clear our notability standards they or their staff still don't get to create the article themselves.
