The result was Keep as certainly notable for WP:POLITICIAN (NAC).

NN state-level politician. Per
WP:POLOUTCOMES, she is neither presumed notable, nor does she have coverage beyond that normally expected. Of the two sources, one is in fact unnecessary, and constitutes coatracking, a notable achievement in an article with so few sources.

Keep - To the contrary,
WP:POLOUTCOMES says that political figures elected at the state level are generally presumed notable. As she is a former state representative, Scamman's article should be kept.

No she isn't - she's a municipal rep to the state legislature, not the state rep to the national legislature.

"Elected and appointed political figures at the national cabinet level are generally regarded as notable, as are usually those at the major sub-national level (US state, Canadian province, Japanese prefecture, etc.)" What part of that is unclear? See also

Keep as a member of a sub-national legislature, as clearly outlined in
WP:POLITICIAN. --

Speedy keep as the entire nomination seems to be based on a misunderstanding of
WP:NPOL, the "no sources" comment was false at the time of AfD nomination, and more valid sources have been added. —
