The "standard local news coverage" test applies to mayors and city councillors and other officeholders at the ''local'' level of political office, but that's not the level of significance in play here. This subject held a seat in a ''state legislature'', which is an  #1 pass right on its face — at that level of office, we don't have ''any'' conditions as to how local or non-local the sources need to be, because the office is an inherently notable one at the ''state'' level of government. As long as we can properly verify that the person actually held the claimed role and isn't an outright hoax, state legislators are ''guaranteed'' Wikipedia articles — when it comes to politicians, the question of how non-local their sourcing needs to be only comes into play at the county and city council levels, and is not relevant to state legislators or congresspeople at all
