A non-winning candidate for office who fails  does not get an automatic free pass over  in lieu just because some coverage of her campaign for office exists — ''every'' candidate for office ''always'' gets some coverage of their campaign, so every candidate would always clear GNG if that were enough in and of itself. Rather, a candidate gets an article in one of three ways: (a) she ''wins'' the election and thereby becomes a ''holder'' of a notable political office, (b) she ''already'' had a credible and properly sourced notability claim ''independently'' of her candidacy, such as already having held another notable office or passing our notability standards for her primary career ''apart'' from politics, or (c) she received ''so'' much coverage for her campaign, expanding ''significantly'' out of scope to what every other candidate also got, that her candidacy itself can be credibly claimed as significantly ''more'' notable than everybody else's candidacy (the Christine O'Donnell test.) But A isn't true, and this article as written is demonstrating neither B nor C. Tomwsulcer isn't a user whose assessment of sources I put much stock in, considering that he once tried to argue that a television reporter had cleared our notability standards for journalists because her existence could be referenced to a letter she had written to her local newspaper's food columnist asking for a kale recipe
