Not elected to a state-wide office, thus fails WP:NPOL. Fails GNG as well. References are election results only. Project Vote Smart external link only says she has a masters degree. – S. Rich (talk) 16:51, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Members of school boards, even county school boards, are almost never notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:02, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unelected candidates for office are not notable just for being candidates, which means that passing or failing WP:NPOL depends on the notability of the highest position that she has held — and indeed, being a school board trustee is not an office that passes the test. In addition, the article is sourced almost entirely to raw tables of the vote totals in her election runs — not the kind of sourcing that passes the substantial coverage test — with the only more detailed coverage consisting of one brief blurb about her concession in a race that she lost. The end result is that nothing here properly demonstrates that she qualifies for a Wikipedia article as things currently stand. No prejudice against recreation in the future if she ever actually wins election to an office notable enough to get her past NPOL, but until then she's a delete.

Delete - She was almost elected to the state senate. But almost isn't enough to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 05:01, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
