She faced a primary election for the 2016 general elections on July 15. She entered into a rematch against Douglas, and defeated him in the runoff election on August 5.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing: - Concerned about reliability of The Christian Recorder and The Champion – is the latter a wordpress blog?
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited: - For ALT0, Markiewicz 2008 says that she won two elections in two months and would have to win three more; where does four come from?
• Interesting: - ALT2 doesn't quite cut it, although ALTs 0 and 1 are good

Image eligibility:

• Freely licensed:
• Used in article:
• Clear at 100px: - The contrast could be heightened a little, she appears to blend into the background- it's not a huge issue, though

QPQ: - Not done
Overall: @Muboshgu: nice job so far! Almost there :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 02:40, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

• Regarding the sources, yeah, I used some that are sketchier than I would prefer to. The Christian Recorder says in its banner that it is the "official organ" of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which the subject belongs to. The citation is used once, only to verify that she is a member of the church. The Champion appears to be a legit newspaper serving DeKalb County, GA. It is used only to cite that both mother and daughter are Secretary of State candidates in 2022, which other sources verify.[3] – Muboshgu (talk) 21:15, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
• ALT0: the text that I copied from the article shows that she ran in elections in May, June, July and August, all for the same seat. Markiewicz specifically says that she won two elections in two months (May and June), and then later notes she will be a candidate in a July election with a possible August runoff. The Salzer citation notes that she won the August runoff. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:20, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
• User:theleekycauldron, and the QPQ is provided. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:29, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
  • @Muboshgu: Hmmm... re: The Christian Recorder, is it necessary to be said that she's a member of the church? Especially given that this is a BLP, I'm not wild about making a personal statement like that based on the church's own "official organ" (and I must say, as far as church organs go, I'd far prefer whatever Gerda Arendt's got). And if WRDW verifies what The Champion says- isn't the former the more reliable source?
  • As for the election... I don't know why, then, that Markiewicz 2008 says that there'll be five, but if four is the agreement of other sources, than fine. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 08:02, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
    • What's WDRW? I took the SPS out. Why would it be a BLP issue to say she's in the church? She's a pastor in Lithonia.
    • Markiewicz says five because they're also counting the November general election. I think she ran unopposed because the AJC didn't include her district in their day after write up. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:10, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
      • @Muboshgu: Leek's referring to WRDW, a TV station in Augusta. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:49, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
        • Oh duh, the WRDW source that I put above. I hadn't put it in the article because it doesn't mention DDH. I'll put it in to support The Champion. That should address all outstanding issues, theleekycauldron. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:43, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
