Delete people defeated in primary elections at the county level are never notable for that, and there is no other even remote claim of notability. In fact people who loose general elections at the country level are virtually never notable for that, and I am not convinced Cook County Sherrif's are default notable, but we may be able to find substantive coverage on most recent ones.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:53, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win, county sheriff is a level of office at which he still wouldn't be automatically guaranteed inclusion in Wikipedia even if he had won, and the article doesn't suggest any credible evidence that he had preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him into Wikipedia independently of the candidacy.
