Unelected candidates aren't inherently notable, and she doesn't seem to have had significant coverage outside the one source. The way I interpret  - and I might be wrong, so feel free to correct me - is that an unsuccessful candidate has to have coverage that shows notability beyond the fact that he or she simply ran for office. The source we have a) doesn't indicate this and b) doesn't quite meet my definition of "reliable." If we could find sources that show that her homelessness protest and/or mayoral campaign received non-trivial attention by ''news'' sources (rather than the press release currently cited), she might meet the notability criteria, but I'm having a hard time finding any mentions of her on the web that aren't just offhand mentions of the fact she ran for office or local editorials written by her
