Per WP:NPOL and WP:POLOUTCOMES. Candidate for office but has never been elected. Not notable outside of the campaign. Zinderboff (talk) 05:47, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: she appears to be moving towards WP:GNG for consistently running and losing to opponents. If she continues in this trajectory she will be known as a regular runner and will be of interest to her constituents. Patre23 (talk) 13:25, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Being a perennial candidate doesn't automatically make someone notable. Besides, she's only run for office twice at this point. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 15:36, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to 2025 Florida's 1st congressional district special election as her last election. Coverage does not cover her at all really outside of her political runs Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 14:47, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to 2025 Florida's 1st congressional district special election. Lacks suffucient coverage outside of her campaigns. Esolo5002 (talk) 14:51, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to 2025 Florida's 1st congressional district special election. There are five non-election sources. Of those sources, one is not independent of the subject (obituary published about a family member), two relate to her son's death from the same local publication, and two relate to activism related to state legislation. The Pensacola News Journal story quotes Valimont, but is mostly about Moms Demand Action. The other notes her attendance at a meeting, but does not cover her as a subject. The election sources themselves would not allow her to meet GNG. A number are primary sources (i.e. campaign finance reports and results) unrelated to the subject and the others are run of the mill election coverage.--Mpen320 (talk) 00:42, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Question I thought there was a two month waiting period before opening another AfD when previous discussion was closed with no consensus. It’s only been one month since the last one for this page. Is “two months” policy or just a suggestion? Nnev66 (talk) 16:02, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment Looking at WP:2MONTHS, it seems to just be a suggestion, as it is WP:JUSTANESSAY. Though I was unaware of the previous nom until I after began this one. Zinderboff (talk) 11:41, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I think in this case it's okay given that the underlying circumstances have fundamentally changed since the first discussion, since the election is now over and we know she lost. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 15:36, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to 2025 Florida's 1st congressional district special election. This is an appropriate outcome for canndidates to the US House that were not elected (see WP:OUTCOMES). Also some of the verfiable material could be added to the page about the election. --Enos733 (talk) 16:14, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to 2025 Florida's 1st congressional district special election or the previous 2024 election. Failed candidates are rarely notable per WP:NPOL and WP:POLOUTCOMES. Unlikely to meet the ten year test. Bkissin (talk) 22:46, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to 2025 Florida's 1st congressional district special election. Does not have sources for stand alone article. WikiMentor01 (talk) 13:02, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to 2025 Florida's 1st congressional district special election. Technically it could be redirected to 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida#District 1 as well, but the 2025 election received considerably more outside attention.
