Delete. Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for office. As always, an election candidate is not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles because candidate -- if you cannot make a credible and properly sourced claim that he already had preexisting notability for other reasons independent of his candidacy, then he must win the election, not merely run in it, to become eligible for one. But what we have here for sourcing is two primary sources (his own campaign website and a press release), two dead links and just one news article about the launch of his campaign -- and one news article is not enough coverage to get him over GNG in lieu of failing NPOL.
