Initial comments

My first impression is that while this is well written, the article is too short to meet the GA requirement of broad coverage. Half of the references are to the same source. There's no early life information, other than when and where she was born. The article starts off talking about her graduate degree. What did she do for undergraduate? And where did she grow up, etc.? We need more content on what she's done as a politician too, a Political activities section should probably be created. Unless the article can be expanded to nearly twice its current length, I don't think it's worth it to continue a review. I would be willing to put this on hold if you think you can do that Krisgabwoosh. ––FormalDude (talk) 01:31, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

While I agree the article is short, I should note that GA criteria does state that the "'broad in its coverage' criterion is significantly weaker than the 'comprehensiveness' required of featured articles. It allows [for] shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail ..." In that sense, I believe this article meets that criterion, noting that similarly lengthed articles have been approved in the past. While I would be happy to include the suggested information, as it stands, this article already covers all available information on a topic where little biographical data exists and where all existing sources I could find have been exhausted.
