Bio states he finished second in a local election, so fails WP:POL. I don't know if the other claim of "reviously the President of Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago" is enough to establish the notability of this person.

Delete a non-notable local politician. The fact that this article has lasted 10 years is a sign we need better article creation control.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:30, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being president of a water conservation district could get him into Wikipedia if he could be shown to clear WP:GNG on the sources — but it isn't an "inherently" notable role that guarantees him an article just because he had a job, being an unsuccessful candidate for elected office isn't a notability freebie either, and this article is referenced nowhere close to well enough to get him over GNG.
