WP:BLP of a person notable only as a school trustee and an unsuccessful candidate for higher office, neither of which is a claim of notability that gets a person over WP:NPOL. Although the article is sourced, nothing here is actually outside of the ordinary level of purely local media coverage that all school trustees always get — meaning that none of it provides any actual reason why he would warrant permanent coverage in an encyclopedia with an international audience. This is basically a leftover from a time (2006) when our notability standards for politicians were a lot looser than they are now, but NPOL has been tightened up considerably over the years and he doesn't pass it as things stand in 2014.
