• Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being losing candidates in election primaries — to gain notability from an election in and of itself, a person has to win it and thereby hold office, not just run and lose. But this makes and sources no credible claim that he had any preexisting notability for other reasons, which is normally the only other way a political candidate can get in the door without winning the general election first, nor does it cite nearly enough sources to demonstrate that his candidacy was somehow a special case on the order of Christine O'Donnell's.
