Keep. Martin certainly fails NPOL (though not for a lack of trying!), but she does seem to pass the GNG. Newspapers.com gives me [1][2][3][4][5], all of which seem to be reliable and in-depth. This seems to exceed routine campaign coverage: the second source, for instance, writes two years after the gubernatorial election that Martin "embarrassed state GOP leaders with her poor showing and her campaign tactics. She drew just 22 percent of the vote, a smaller share than any previous Republican candidate for the office." And while most coverage focuses on the 1999 election, her frequent efforts to run for just about every political office in the Commonwealth of Kentucky ensure that she's not a "low-profile individual" for purposes of BLP1E.
