Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Francine Busby
I normally don't favor articles on unsuccessful candidates, but she is higher profile in this county than many elected officeholders, and has gotten national press. As shown by the links found by Arms &amp; Hearts, her campaigns received national attention, particularly the 2006 special election for the open seat left by Duke Cunningham; http://thehill.com/opinion/columnists/mark-mellman/8470-the-francine-busby-surge this link shows her being discussed by the national parties as some kind of harbinger of national trends. Here's http://www.usnews.com/usnews/politics/whispers/articles/060605/5whisplead.htm another example, which is already cited in the article; not many unsuccessful candidates get written up by U.S. News & World Report! She fails , but she passes  based on significant coverage by multiple national-level reliable sources
