Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Neither being a country freeholder or unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate makes him notable. Also, it appears that he was a county commissioner of the board of elections since no such position exists at a state level. Rusf10 (talk) 22:41, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Neither serving on a county council nor being an unsuccessful candidate in a party primary passes WP:NPOL at all, but this is not referenced anywhere close to well enough to get him over the bar that he would actually have to clear: it is far too dependent on primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in the party primary coverage that always exists for every party primary, and not nearly enough on notability-making coverage about him.
