WP:BLP of a person notable only as a city councillor and unelected candidate for mayor of the city, not adequately sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NPOL #2. As always, neither city councillors nor non-winning mayoral candidates are considered to be automatically notable just because they exist -- the notability test for city councillors requires evidence that they could be considered significantly more notable than the norm for city councillors (e.g. by serving in an internationally prominent global city or by having nationalizing coverage far beyond just the local coverage that every city councillor everywhere can always show), and non-winning mayoral candidates are notable only if they already have preexisting notability for other reasons besides the candidacy itself.
But the sourcing here isn't demonstrating a credible reason to treat Darden Rice as markedly more notable than most other city councillors: it consists mainly of primary sources and blogs that are not support for notability at all, with relatively few citations to real media and no evidence whatsoever of anything more than run of the mill local coverage. And even though this is written as though the mayoral race is still ongoing, the election was held in August and she didn't win it. Nothing here is grounds for a Wikipedia article per se, in the absence of any evidence as to why she should be seen as a special case of significantly greater notability than most other city councillors.
