County-level councillor without enough properly sourced evidence of notability to get him past WP:POLITICIAN; the lowest level of office at which people become "entitled" to an article is the state legislature, not a county council. Delete unless a much better article can be written than this. Bearcat (talk) 03:24, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

• Delete - available coverage is extremely local like this and this. Exactly what you'd expect for a local councillor - local coverage in local papers. It's coverage in papers like the Washington Post but those are his local papers and in this instance they are covering very local politics, rather than their usual national or international fare.

• Delete Local politician who lost in the run for an office that if he had won would still not have made him notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:21, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Just to clarify, he lost once, ran again and won the second time. So he is an actual officeholder, and not just an unsuccessful candidate — but you are correct that the office he holds isn't notable enough by itself. Bearcat (talk) 01:25, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
