Comment: People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in political party primaries for offices they have not already held — the notability bar at  is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one. And no, the existence of a smattering of local coverage in the campaign context is not an automatic GNG-based exemption from having to pass NPOL, either, because ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election can ''always'' show a bit of local coverage — so a political candidate is not notable for that unless and until her coverage ''nationalizes'' to such a degree that her candidacy can be credibly claimed as ''much more special'' than everybody else's candidacies, which is not what the sources here are showing. And the only other way a candidate gets into Wikipedia is if it can be demonstrated that she already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten her an article ''anyway'', and this article isn't showing that either. As always, Wikipedia is not a free PR platform to publicize the campaigns of aspiring politicians — we consider the ''enduring'' notability of our article topics, not just their momentary newsiness, and being a candidate in a primary does not pass the |ten year test in and of itself

Comment: I am editing the article and adding some sources, including an article from 2005 about her as a slam poet. It is problematic that this has been created because she is a political candidate, but she has been in the public eye for much longer than that. If this article doesn't get deleted first, I will continue editing it and assess whether she has enough SIGCOV to meet , aside from her candidacy
