Comment: She lost the election. As per wikipedia notability guidelines on politicians, just running in a race does not convey notability. There is nothing else in this article that would suggest notability. Spiralwidget (talk) 14:45, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This reads like a poorly-formatted resume, more citations are needed, and the current citations are not correctly formatted. Please see WP:RESUME and WP:REFSTART. Snowman304|talk 01:11, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
