Being a non-winning candidate for chair of a political party is not an automatic notability freebie per , but this article neither makes any claim of preexisting notability for any other reason nor sources his candidacy for DNC chair well enough to suggest that it should be considered a special case over and above most other non-winning candidacies. It depends too strongly on |primary sources, student media and activist |blogs, and the few sources that actually pass our |reliable sourcing standards do not represent an unusual volume of coverage that would make his candidacy more notable than usual. And none of his other competitors who also lost that race are considered notable ''because'' of that fact, either — Keith Ellison and Pete Buttigieg and Raymond Buckley have articles because they already ''held'' other notable offices ''before'' running for DNC chair, ''not'' because they ran for DNC chair and lost
