extremely promotional article on a PR agent and local politician. I'm not sure if there might possibly be scope for a small article, but this is so full of minor accomplishments and personal claims for responsibility for major ones where she was just a press agent. President of a county school board, which is not necessarily much of a claim to notability.

The refs, as expected for someone with a local career, are all local, and most of them are based or PR as well. DGG ( talk ) 00:50, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Her notability doesn't come from just being a county school board president, it comes from the events and backlash that ensued. The vote to include language that protected gay students and employees was controversial at the time and many papers and personalities in the area follow the issue (The Detroit News and Free Press aren't any different from the LA Times, Washington Post, etc. Mitch Album also talked about the issue (National writer, radio host).

Additionally, national gay rights groups and magazines also followed the issue. The funding raised for education was also directly related to her efforts through her various careers (Maybe the sources on the WCCCD info can be improved) - and I think 2 billion is a pretty significant number and saving a college that now serves roughly 75,000 students from closing is also notable.

So even though it is still a "local" political office according to Wikipedia, it has met notability requirement 3 for politicians.

I think the issue here might be more with some of the promotional tone. I'm a student and I wrote this to get practice writing articles. Let's work together to fix the issues because I would hate to see my work taken down :)

Keep on GNG grounds seems to have coverage over an extended period of time. -- GreenC 14:01, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
