Reason's to Keep
editIn Iowa, Glenn Hurst is notable for his role in the Iowa Democratic Party, pushing to re-elect Iowa's only Democratic congressperson Rep. Cindy Axne.
The other two candidates in this race are Mike Franken's and Abby Finkenauer. Franken's page is predominantly about his two Senate races and Finkenauer is no longer an elected official, only having served one term before losing her reelection.

editI believe that this page has a lot of value. Dr. Glenn Hurst represents a beacon of light and change for underserved rural communities in Iowa. People in those communities should be able to easily find information about their candidate which includes on this page.

Dr. Hurst is a notable candidate in this race because he is an institutional member of the Iowa Democratic Party. Dr. Hurst was elected and has served as the chair of the Rural Caucus for many years now.
He has been a staunch advocate for rural communities in Iowa and progressive values. He also serves as a City Council member in Minden, Iowa. Comparatively to the most densely populated states in America, being a city-county council member to a city of 600 may not seem notable, but according to the Iowa Department for Public Health, approximately 43% of Iowa's population lives in rural communities like these. As an elected official of the Iowa Democratic Party as the Rural Caucus chair and an elected official in a rural community in a state that is 43% rural, I would argue that Dr. Glenn Hurst is a notable political figure in Iowa. Deleting his Wikipedia page would be silencing the existence of prominent figures in rural Iowa.
