Delete per WP:POLITICIAN, being an unsuccessful candidate for office is not grounds for notability. Similarly Mayor of a small town (34k) would only be notable if they had been covered in reliable secondary sources and a search doesn't turn up anything.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN as a small city mayor and unsuccessful Congressional candidate. Description of legal issue presents WP:BLP concerns. No other claim to notability is made. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:15, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, does not meet criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Politicians. I don't see any sources that support beyond than his terms as mayor and run for congress. -- Donald Albury 12:23, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
