Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Cartwright (Pennsylvania politician)
Clearly fulfills the second criterion of : "Major figures in national or first-level sub-national political races." A major party nominee for congressional office qualifies. The article should be kept as Matthew Cartwright is notable as he is expected to become the new Democratic Congressman for the Pennsylvania's 17th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives elections, 2012 due to it being a safe Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party seat. Also he is notable for having defeated the 18-year incumbent Congressman Tim Holden in the Democratic primary by 57%-43%. So since most newspapers and politicians are saying that he is going to be elected I therefore strongly believe that this article on Matthew Cartwright should be both kept and he is notable
