  • Comment: Please note that per WP:NPOL, county commissioners are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles. The bar for getting a county commissioner into Wikipedia is not "verify that he exists" -- it is "demonstrate a volume of media coverage that shows a credible reason to treat him as a special case of much more national significance than most other county commissioners".
    Also, this is written like his own campaign brochure, and not like a proper neutral encyclopedia article. Bearcat (talk) 14:03, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
