This election candidate lacks
notability. It is sourced either to local publications or to his own campaign website and is about a guy running for election who's two claims to fame, firstly that he was a Assistant United States Attorney back in the 1980's and helped to prosecute a spy and secondly married to retired former federal judge. The article is promotional in nature, reading like a campaign resume written by
SPA to aid this person's election. LGAtalkedits 01:55, 20 May 2014 (UTC)reply
Delete This is a local attorney who is running for local office. No notability there. When he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney he prosecuted some notable defendants; however, he rates barely a mention in the coverage of the trials. No notability there. And being the spouse of a judge does not make a person notable - not even enough for a redirect. --

While he might certainly qualify for an article if he wins the election (I don't actually think we automatically extend a presumption of notability to every individual county DA in the United States, but San Diego is a major media market whose DA would garner substantial
reliable source coverage), per
WP:POLITICIAN a person is not automatically entitled to an article on Wikipedia just for running in an election he hasn't won yet. Delete.
