WP:BLP of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for political office. As always, this is not "inherently" notable in and of itself, but the article makes no credible claim that he has any preexisting notability for other reasons and doesn't demonstrate any strong reason why he could be considered more notable than most other candidates.

• Delete Fails NPOL. Unsuccessful candidates can be notable but I don't think this one is. Besides, paid editing concerns never help. ~ EDDY ^{( talk/ contribs)}~ 23:44, 7 July 2018 (UTC) reply
• Delete unelected candidates are almost never notable. We really need to purge several such articles from Wikipedia. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 20:19, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
• Delete - while he got lots of coverage in Upstate New York media, it was of the "also ran" variety. Bearian ( talk) 15:53, 9 July 2018 (UTC) reply
