Comment: obviously without prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins. Candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — and the existence of some campaign coverage is not in and of itself a free GNG-based exemption from NPOL, because ''every'' candidate ''always'' gets some campaign coverage. To be notable without having to hold office first, a candidate must either (a) properly demonstrate preexisting notability that would already have gotten him an article anyway, or (b) properly demonstrate a reason why his candidacy is much, much more special than everybody else's candidacies, in some way that would pass the |ten year test for enduring significance. But the claims of preexisting notability being made above are not "inherently" notable enough to confer instant notability freebies in the absence of GNG-worthy media coverage ''about'' that work, and there's nothing here that would suggest his candidacy is unusually important

Comment: the BLP shows notability as per  and has contributions in multiple fields like Military, Academics, Politics. Promotional lines like - "Bush described cycling with Gade as "unbelievable" given Gade's injury" need to be removed. So, I do have  issues with it. However, I would say it should be kept for the moment. The outcome of future elections should not base the retention of the page

Comment: to 2020 United States Senate election in Virginia. There's a 2015 ''New York Times'' piece in the article that is not associated with his campaign for office that gives some information about him. https://www.bushcenter.org/people/daniel-m-gade.html This piece from the George W. Bush Center discusses him, although since he was involved in the Bush administration, I can see the independence of that source being challenged. https://ncd.gov/newsroom/2015/lt-colonel-daniel-m-gade-phd-appointed-national-council-disability-speaker-house Press release from his NCD work doesn't count towards notability. https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/analysis-trump-appointments-could-derail-lgbtq-employment-rights-n815681 Little bit of coverage here (from 2017).  There's some pre-campaign coverage about him, but it's too limited to make a  push here.  If he beats Warner, then the redirect can be removed.  For now, there's just not quite enough non-campaign related coverage to get across the bar of GNG here

Comment: as suggested to 2020 United States Senate election in Virginia. Polling, the lack of endorsements or funds, and prognosticators (Cook and Bitecofer agree it's "Safe Dem"), with less than two weeks to go, indicate he's going to lose badly, possibly by more than 20 points. It's probable that not only he will lose, but several people who have endorsed him could also lose. Much of the coverage is |obligatory both sides reporting
