• Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test per WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. To qualify for an article, rather, she would have to demonstrate one or the other of two things: either (a) she was already notable enough for other reasons besides the candidacy that she would already have gotten an article on those grounds anyway (i.e. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) she can be referenced to such an unusual degree of coverage, nationalizing and deepening far beyond what just every candidate in every election can always show, that her candidacy has a credible claim to being much more special than everybody else's candidacies (i.e. Christine O'Donnell). But this claims literally nothing that would fulfill the former, and is not sourced nearly well enough to pass the latter. Bearcat ( talk) 17:10, 25 November 2019 (UTC) reply
• Redirect to 2018 United States House of Representatives elections#Missouri. She doesn't meet WP:GNG, but the losing major party candidate for a US election is usually a valid search term for the election. Hog Farm ( talk) 03:36, 26 November 2019 (UTC) reply
• Redirect to 2018 United States House of Representatives elections#Missouri as a usual and appropriate outcome for failed general election candidates for US Congress. -- Enos733 ( talk) 15:48, 26 November 2019 (UTC) reply
