Submission declined on 16 June 2025 by Bkissin (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Comment: Candidates for public office rarely meet WP:NPOL, and the sources as they stand now do not show that this is an exception. If she wins in 2026, we can re-assess. Otherwise, I would suggest redirecting this to the article about the election itself. Bkissin (talk) 23:50, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
