One of those rare occasions where a mere candidate gets over the bar, I think. That's because (a) he's been a candidate on numerous occasions; (b) he's essentially run for statewide office, there being only one House seat in his state; and (c) the natural statewide press coverage that such campaigns will generate. The distinction between "sources about the candidate" and "source about the election" is a difficult, and in my view, often unnecessary one, to draw. The real question underlying the purpose of  is: are the sources sufficient to write a biography? In this case, the answer is yes, but admittedly only barely so. I'd add that this article seems to be largely free of the blatant puffery (or hatchet jobs) that often accompanies articles of this kind
