Being an unsuccessful candidate in a political party primary is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself — a person has to ''win'' the election, not just run in it, to clinch notability as a politician, and the fact that some campaign coverage existed during the primary itself (a fact which, by definition, ''has'' to be true of ''every'' candidate in the primary) is ''not'' enough in and of itself to get her over  in lieu of failing . And while her prior role might make her notable enough ''if'' she could be shown to have received media coverage in that context ''while'' she was holding that role, it does ''not'' make her notable enough for an article just because you can technically source the fact to passing mentions of it as ''career background'' in the ''campaign'' coverage (because, again, ''every'' candidate's campaign coverage will ''always'' mention their career background, so the latter approach would render ''every'' candidate able to claim notability for their prior career that exempted them from having to win the election first.)To properly demonstrate that a non-winning candidate has preexisting notability under a different inclusion criterion, the test is to take ''all'' of the campaign coverage ''out'' of the mix, and see if what's ''left'' would have been enough to get her in the door on those other grounds ''even if the campaign coverage didn't exist at all''. But if I do that, all that's left is a ''Buzzfeed'' listicle and a local human interest piece in her husband's hometown media about their wedding — which is not what it would have taken to get her over GNG independently of the candidacy
