WP:BLP of an unelected candidate, not adequately demonstrated as passing the conditions for the permanent notability of unelected candidates. As always, the notability bar at WP:NPOL is holding a notable office, not just running for one, while unelected candidates get articles only if either (a) they can demonstrate that they already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten them an article anyway, or (b) they can demonstrate a credible reason why their candidacy should be seen as a special case of significantly greater and more enduring notability than most other people's candidacies.
But this demonstrates neither of those things, and is effectively just the usual campaign brochure referenced to the usual smattering of run of the mill campaign coverage that every candidate in every district can always show, which is not enough to render his unsuccessful election campaign more notable than other unsuccessful election campaigns all by itself.

Delete per nom. We appreciate Mr. Douglas' willingness to stand for election, but as mentioned, standing for election and failing does not confer notability. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:59, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to 2024 Florida House of Representatives election#District 37, which is a common outcome for unsuccessful candidates who are up-and-coming. He was endorsed by Maxwell Frost and gained some coverage. He’s certainly someone to watch. Bearian (talk) 03:11, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 2024 Florida House of Representatives election#District 37, as a usual and appropriate outcome for a losing candidate for the US House (per WP:POLOUTCOMES). --Enos733 (talk) 03:53, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
