I curated this page yesterday after trying to fix some issues with it. However, a cursory Google search brings up no hits other than the few Congress links. I am not seeing any notability here beyond those hits, especially as he has yet to become the party nominee. Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 22:58, 10 April 2016 (UTC) reply

• An unelected candidate for office does not get a Wikipedia article just for the fact of being a candidate — if you cannot show and properly source credible evidence that he was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before he became a candidate, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he wins the seat (and I mean the Congressional seat in November, not just the party primary.) But nothing else claimed or sourced here gets him over any other notability standard — and the article was created by User:Anders katherine, an apparent conflict of interest since the subject's wife is named in the article as "Katherine". Delete, without prejudice against recreation in November if he wins. Bearcat ( talk) 18:34, 15 April 2016 (UTC) reply
