WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a non-winning candidate for political office. This is not a claim that gets a person over WP:NPOL in and of itself; if you cannot make a credible and properly sourced claim that they were already eligible for a Wikipedia article before becoming a candidate, then they have to win the seat, not just run for it, to become eligible. No especially substantive claim of preexisting notability has been made here, however; it reads very much like the kind of "meet your candidate" backgrounder one might see on his own campaign website, and is sourced exclusively to coverage of the candidacy itself — but even the volume of coverage on that isn't adequate to claim that he passes WP:GNG.
