WP:BLP of a person notable only as an as yet unelected candidate in a future election. As always, candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates -- the notability bar for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, while candidates get articles only if they already have preexisting notability for other reasons besides the candidacy. But this claims nothing of the sort, and is referenced merely to the standard and
run of the mill campaign coverage in the local media that every candidate in every election always receives as a matter of course, which is not sufficient to claim that he would pass
WP:GNG in lieu of having to pass
WP:NPOL.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation after election day if he wins the seat, but nothing here is sufficient grounds for him to already have an article today.
