Comment: Please note that mayors are not considered "inherently" notable enough for Wikipedia articles. To make a mayor notable enough for inclusion here, it is not sufficient to just offer minimal verification that she exists -- rather, you have to be able to write a substantial article about her political impact (specific things she did as mayor, specific projects she spearheaded as mayor, specific effects her mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth), referenced to a significant volume of third-party reliable source coverage about her in the media.
But four of the six footnotes here are primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and the two that come from the media just verify her initial election and don't add up to enough coverage to surpass what's actually required. For clarity's sake, Marie Curtis is an example of what a genuinely good article about a mayor should look like — not that you have to precisely replicate it down to the letter or anything like that, but it's the kind of depth and the volume of sourcing that you should be striving toward.
