Fails WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. Julietdeltalima (talk) 01:26, 19 April 2016 (UTC) reply

There do appear to be third-party news sources, but they don't support notability. Julietdeltalima (talk) 01:34, 19 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Unelected candidates for office are not automatically eligible for Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — and that goes double for people who are still only candidates in a political party's primary contest. If you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that she would already have been eligible for a Wikipedia article before becoming a candidate, then she does not become notable enough for an article until she wins the seat. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in November if she wins. Bearcat ( talk) 23:35, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply
