With respect, being a candidate for office and holding no other offices makes me think this gentleman doesn't meet the notability guidelines. I see that he has had 2 prior afds (1 delete in 2007, 1 no consensus after a new article was created in 2011), but I don't even think that the 'perpetual also-ran' angle is sufficient in this case (would need to be many more attempts, IMO).

This article has been on Wikipedia for many times and the individual is a notable individual who has been in newspapers worldwide and has been stated as a "notable person" many times previously. There is no reason to remove an article that gains at least 400 views per thirty day time period. There is no reason to remove the article and because of his "Playgirl" and "New York Times" coverage as well as "The Daily Show" coverage the individual has clearly met notability standards under the Wikipedia guidelines.

KEEP -Meets notability standards
