Fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:BIO. Never elected to office, and no significant coverage online from WP:RS. Previously speedied A7 twice today, following creation by User:Petrik4thepeople. This attempt created by new user, 6 minutes after second deletion, and after previous creator was warned about WP:COI and removing speedy tags. Claims to have been responsible for passage of Affordable Care Act in Ohio, but I can find no evidence for this online. Dai Pritchard (talk) 17:15, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Userfy per above vote; seems to be failing coverage of reliable sources. Page author is welcome to improve the article and fix the issues. --TL22 (talk) 23:04, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – fails WP:POLITICIAN without any other sign of notability--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 23:20, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unelected candidates for office are not entitled to use Wikipedia as a campaign tool, and may have articles only if they already satisfy one of Wikipedia's other inclusion rules. Bearcat (talk) 01:49, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not the place for political hopefuls to promote themselves. Come back when you can show extensive, independent coverage and a track record of accomplishments that had a significant impact.--Gronk Oz (talk) 02:27, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, based on recent history, and salt. This is the third time this article has been created, the first two times by a user with an obviously promotional/COI username, the third time by a sockpuppet of that user. After the sock was blocked, promotional edits were added to the article by an IP; anyone have a theory who that IP was? After the first speedy deletion (by me), I wrote a message on the user's talk page, explaining why the article was inappropriate and warning them not to create it again. They immediately recreated it, twice now, making it clear that they will not stop until the article title is indefinitely create-protected. --MelanieN (talk) 03:38, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
