Wikipedia does not deal in the realm of election predictions, so the fact that a candidate is considered likely to win the election is not a notability claim in and of itself — our notability criteria are based on what's already true today, not what new things that aren't already true today might become true in the future. And since ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''always'' generates some coverage in their district's local media during the campaign, the fact that said coverage exists is not an automatic  pass in and of itself either. If she ''does'' win the election in November, ''then'' the article can be recreated as her notability claim will have changed  to one that guarantees a Wikipedia article — but simply being a candidate as of today is not enough. (And no, Richmond CA is not a large enough city to confer automatic notability on its city councillors, either
