WP:BLP of a high school teacher, whose only substantive claim of encyclopedic notability is his status as a not-yet-elected candidate in a future election. As always, this is not a claim of notability that gets a person into an encyclopedia, and nothing else here would have gotten him into Wikipedia before being named a candidate. So while he'll certainly be eligible for recreation in October if he wins his seat, nothing that's been written or sourced here gets him an article today. Delete.

• Delete. TEDx speaker, high school teacher, or prospective political candidate are all not enough for notability. They are all things that one could be notable for with enough high-level media coverage, but we don't have that here. — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:46, 31 July 2015 (UTC) reply
• Delete: Per nomination and David Eppstein. Not notable by the criteria of WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN.-- Ddcm8991 ( talk) 03:23, 5 August 2015 (UTC) reply
