Comment: Being chair of a political party at the state level is not an "inherent" notability freebie in the absence of a demonstrated  pass, but the sources here aren't getting him over GNG. Two of the five footnotes are glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that are not ''about'' him; one is a self-written |primary source that isn't support for notability at all; one just leads to an "all articles by this writer" directory listing, with ''no'' indication that said journalist wrote any articles that were specifically about Brian Kennedy; and one is just a straight ''reprint'' in another source of the ''same'' self-written biographical sketch from the primary source. And no, having been a candidate in an election primary he did not win is not a notability claim either
