Nancy Ross pictured in about 1984
- ... that just seven years after being elected to a local school board, Nancy Ross (pictured) was a candidate for Vice President of the United States? Source: https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/20/us/under-various-parties-presidential-candidate-runs-in-33-states.html

- Comment: The hook is simple math from two sources. The NY Times article establishes she was VP candidate in 1984. The Daily News article establishes that she was elected to the school board in 1977.
Created by Chetsford (talk).
Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 149 past nominations.
Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.Chetsford (talk) 05:27, 29 March 2024 (UTC).
This is my first review, please excuse me for any mistakes I might make. Overall, the hook looks good & interesting, article is new enough, and seems to be neutral and adequately sourced. I'm not familiar with American politics, so I'm assuming "running mate" would mean VP, yes? Should be good to go once your required QPQs are fulfilled, so feel free to let me know when they are with links to the nominations and I'll go forward with approving this. Great job, Chetsford!

- Thanks, B3251! I'll ping you in a bit once the QPQs are done. (P.S. - your note about "running mate" is a good one; I'm going to edit the article slightly to clarify the ambiguity there.) Chetsford (talk) 18:25, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- B3251 - my QPQs are now complete - thanks! Chetsford (talk) 04:33, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
QPQs are complete. Good to go now. B3251 (talk) 13:43, 1 April 2024 (UTC)- @Chetsford: The article could use a longer lead to introduce the content in the body. Bruxton (talk) 23:15, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
