At a population of right around 50K, Lakeville is ''just'' barely large enough that a mayor ''could'' be considered notable if his article was ''well-sourced''. But this is relying much more on raw tables of election results, press releases on the web pages of institutions, and |blogs than it is on real |reliable source coverage -- and the reliable source coverage that ''is'' present is the  depth and volume of local coverage that all mayors would be ''expected'' to receive in their local media. And candidates don't get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates, either, but are eligible for articles only if (a) either they can be properly demonstrated as already passing a notability criterion ''before'' they became candidates, or (b) they win the seat at the end of the campaign, and thereby become actual ''officeholders'' rather than mere candidates.
