Fails WP:NPOL as a county commissioner for a county of less than 40,000. Also fails WP:GNG as most sources are either primary or routine local coverage. The closest thing to significant coverage is regarding was the decision of the commission (not just him) to deny a bailout to Boscov's department store, so even then its a WP:BIO1E.

Delete - Well write but not notable and fails as per WP:NPOL as a county commissioner. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 16:18, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. County commissioners can occasionally clear NPOL #2 if they can be well-referenced to nationalizing coverage which demonstrates that they're notable significantly beyond just their own county, but are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist — but this is referenced to a mix of primary sources and the routinely expected degree of purely local media coverage, which is not good enough.
