No indication of notability per WP:NPOL, WP:AUTHOR, WP:BIO, or WP:GNG. I can find only passing mentions in WP:RS online for his political and community work, including foundation of a PAC, and WP:Notability is not inherited. Most notable political office claimed is a direct appointment by a state governor, and I can find no mention of this online. Much of the article was added in a few large edits by WP:SPAs, including the images. It might also be copyvio ([1], etc.) but I can't tell from the Wayback Machine whether or not the article is copyvio or there are mirrors of this article on the websites of groups he's connected with. The whole article reeks of paid editing, and most of the article is ridiculously promotional fluff. This can be fixed, but a high fluff-to-facts ratio can often be an indicator of low notability.

- Delete. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to clear WP:GNG, but the sourcing in the article isn't getting him there — it's referenced far too heavily to primary sources (the self-published websites of organizations he's been directly affiliated with, the publication details of his own writing, etc.), blogs, YouTube clips and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things or people, with virtually no evidence being shown of any reliable source coverage about him in his own right.

- Delete exceptionally promotional. Notability concerns per Bearcat. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:04, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
