Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Murphy (politician)
Sorry, Chris Murphy is notable as a State Senator. He's the Assistant Majority leader of the Connecticut State Senate, the author of the Connecticut civil unions law, the chairman of the Senate Public Health committee (which, if you know anything about Connecticut politics, you'd know is of the two or three most important committees in Hartford). But even if he weren't a State Senator, he'd be notable, because he's the Democratic Party's candidate in one of the fifty most closely watched Congressional races in the country. The  guidelines do allow "major local political figures who receive significant press coverage"  to receive WP pages, and Murphy, who has twice been featured on the front page of the New York Times certainly and unequivocably qualifies
