Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joanne McCafferty
People do not get articles just for being ''candidates'' in elections that they didn't win — to satisfy , she has to ''win'' the election and thereby ''hold'' office, not just run and lose. But there's no supplementary evidence of notability for other reasons being shown here at all — the content about her prior career in business is referenced entirely to |primary sources, not |reliable ones, and she isn't the ''subject'' of the source for being chief of staff to Greg Pearce, but merely has her existence namechecked in an article whose subject is ''Pearce''. That's not a source that assists notability for that position at all — so we're ultimately right back to "notable because she ran for the state legislature and lost", which no, she's not
