The only office he has ever held is a Central Committeeman position with the Democratic Party of Illinois. This position is one of two people elected from each congressional district. The other is a committeewoman. I believe as a state party board member who was not the Chair, he failed notability as a politician. I also do not believe any of his campaigns for other public office meet the GNG criteria nor does anything from his activist or legal career. This will be posted to the Illinois and politician deletion streams. Mpen320 (talk) 16:36, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete seems to be a minor local politician, fails WP:NPOL and there isn't in-depth coverage of him, fails WP:GNG as well. It looks like most of his coverage is in local publications, and that isn't even signifigant. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 17:26, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete party delegates from a specific congressional district, especially since there are multiple do not meet default notability guidelines, and nothing else suggests notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Literally nothing stated in the article is an article clinching notability claim — people do not get Wikipedia articles for being candidates in political party primaries, for being the president of local community organizations, or for being a member of a political party's organizing committee, and neither the depth nor the geographic range of the sources are impressive enough to make him enduringly or significantly more special than everybody else who's done the same things without getting Wikipedia articles for it.

Delete because he is only mentioned in ancillary ways in articles about other subjects, he has no claim to notability.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:52, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Local politician. Serving as a committee member of the Illinois state Democratic Party is not enough to confer notability. Sources in the articles are all from local publications and no in-depth sources are present. LefcentrerightDiscuss 21:11, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
