Notability for local political figures is not a question of the municipality's population — it depends on the quality of the ''sourcing'', and a population of 100K is ''not'' an instant notability freebie for a mayor or municipal councillor or board chair in the ''absence'' of adequate sourcing. People also do ''not'' get Wikipedia articles for running as ''candidates'' for higher NPOL-passing offices — for "Texas State Senate" to have any bearing whatsoever on his notability, he would have to have ''won'' that election and thereby sat ''in'' the State Senate as a ''Senator'', not just run and lose. But the references here are not building a strong case for his notability: they are nearly all |primary sources and small community hyperlocals in which coverage of the local political scene is merely ''expected'' to exist, and the only one that's a genuinely national source just briefly mentions his existence in the context of being fundamentally ''about'' something ''other'' than ''him''. This is not how you make people at this level of political office notable enough for Wikipedia articles: the notability test is ''not'' "as soon as his name has been mentioned in a national media source once" — he has to be the ''subject'' of substantive coverage, not just get namechecked in coverage of other things, before a source assists in building his notability at all
