• Comment: I don't see evidence of notability at the moment. If she wins the election then she may be notable under WP:NPOL, but until then she has to meet the general notability guideline. Please expand the Yahoo News links into proper references. C F A 💬 05:23, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The subject of this draft BLP is a candidate for political office. As a candidate, they do not satisfy political notability, and so must be evaluated based on general notability. This draft does not speak for itself as to the candidate's general notability, and so will be declined. This draft should only be resubmitted if the body of the draft is expanded to show general notability. (Do not simply add references and resubmit.)
