Delete As an unsuccessful 2010 candidate, he fails WP:POLITICIAN. No other claim of notability is made. Cullen328 (talk) 23:03, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No claim is made that as a union official, he is notable, and as a politician he clearly fails the bar, therefore, delete. Bearian (talk) 20:21, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No notability outside of this WP:ONEEVENT as a WP:POLITICIAN.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:38, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep--he's only a candidate, and doesn't automatically qualify as notable under WP:POLITICIAN. But the article is well-sourced and demonstrates significant coverage in plenty of independent reliable sources like the Boston Globe (among others), clearly passing WP:GNG. As the third point of WP:POLITICIAN states, "[candidates] can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".
