People do not get articles just for running as candidates in future political party primaries — the notability test at  is ''holding'' a notable office, not just standing as a candidate for one. But candidates are also not handed a GNG-based exemption from having to pass NPOL just because some campaign coverage exists in their local media — ''every'' candidate in ''every'' district can ''always'' show some campaign coverage in their local media, so if that were how it worked then every candidate in every district could always exempt themselves from NPOL, and NPOL itself would become meaningless. So to make a candidate notable enough for a Wikipedia article in advance of winning the election, you actually have to show one of two things: either (a) he was ''already'' notable enough for other reasons ''independent'' of the candidacy that he would already have qualified for an article on those other grounds anyway (i.e. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) his candidacy can be credibly claimed to have much greater ''national'' significance than most other people's candidacies, by virtue of having received an unusually large volume of coverage ''beyond'' just his local media market (i.e. Christine O'Donnell). But neither of those things are in evidence here.It's not Wikipedia's mandate or role to maintain an article about every single person whose name happens to be present in their local news right now — our job is to look ''past'' the current news cycle, and keep articles only about people who have accomplished something significant enough that it passes the |ten year test for ''enduring'' significance. So obviously, no prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, since his notability claim will have changed from "candidate" to "officeholder" — but nothing here, either in the substance or the sourcing, constitutes a valid reason for an article about him to already exist today
