Mayors, as a rule, need to head larger cities than
Manitowoc, Wisconsin, to qualify automatically. I don't see anything other than routine local news coverage, and there are no claims of extraordinary accomplishments, so neither
WP:POLITICIAN or
WP:GNG are satisfied.

Delete. Manitowoc is not large enough to hand its mayors an automatic free pass over
WP:NPOL #2 just because they exist — but the referencing here consists entirely of primary sources and routine coverage of the mayoral elections themselves, which is not enough to get a mayor over the bar. Every mayor of everywhere can always show election results reportage in their local newspaper, but every mayor of everywhere is not always notable — the notability test for a mayor is the ability to write a substantive article about their political impact in the mayors chair, not just the ability to technically verify that they got elected and then re-elected and then re-elected again.
