  • Comment: I'm loathe to accept any article written ostensibly for someone running for political office. The subject doesn't meet notability criteria for politicians as she's only a candidate for minor office and the sources cited don't sell me on general notability. This draft still needs to be cut down to essentials and read less like an ad. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:00, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
