Delete. As always, unelected candidates for office are not entitled to Wikipedia articles because candidate — if you cannot provide and source credible evidence that they get over another notability criterion for some other reason, then they do not pass WP:NPOL until they win the seat. This makes no such claim, however, and its only "source" is a (deadlinked) raw table of election results of the type that just nominally verifies all of the candidates' existences and vote totals, but fails to provide substantive content about them. There's just no grounds for an article here. Bearcat (talk) 17:36, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
