On the morning of the election, KidAd ( talk · contribs) reverted the entire article to a previous, unverifiable, state, without any cogent explanation:
In most cases, there are no citations at all. KidAd removed the {more citations needed section} template.
The recent AfD had decided that only persons who were notable and had wikipedia articles should be included.
The recent AfD had also depended on WP:LISTN, that requires "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines...." I'd carefully examined the sources, and only one was about such a list. (The section Economic Policy has such a list.)
Moreover, elected officials are never "campaign staff". They are never paid by the campaign. In many/most cases, they are honorary titles.
For that reason, I've reverted.

I am not going to check each citation, but assume they do support verifiability. They can, of course, be removed if they fail that test. I would reflect on your words about the eve of the election and say that deleting names with citations is itself a most unusual way to behave at this precise moment time. I would also advise you not to use individual discussion comments made at AFD as rationale for your editing behaviour, especially as there was a non-admin closure by
