- Comment: Same decline reason as the one from January 2022. Only a single reference was added to the draft prior to resubmission and that reference is another one about his politics. Person would not meet guidelines as a politician and references do not show WP:GNG. CNMall41 (talk) 03:27, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Candidates do not meet WP:NPOL. If he wins in November we can re-assess. Bkissin (talk) 17:00, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
