Low-profile individual. According to Wikipedia's policy on notable individuals, "Being related to a notable person in itself confers no degree of notability upon that person. Articles about notable people that mention their family members in passing do not, in themselves, show that a family member is notable." Therefore, her being the wife of a former Congressman in NJ's 1st District doesn't really confer notoriety upon her. Her only claim to fame also seems to be that she served as a brief Democratic "place-holder" in a NJ congressional election. She quickly withdrew.Ambrosiaster (talk) 01:44, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete notability is not inherited. The placeholder election was a single event-- is there anything else?104.163.147.121 (talk) 08:57, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. To be fair, this article was started in 2008, when she was still the active candidate in her district and hadn't been relegated back to "placeholder" status yet. But a candidate doesn't qualify for a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate — she has to win the election, not just run in it, to be considered notable as a politician, and apart from that the only other way to get a candidate in the door is to demonstrate and reliably source that she qualifies for an article for some other reason besides her candidacy itself. But this makes no such claim at all: notability is not inherited, so she doesn't qualify just because her husband was a congressman, and there's no strong or well-sourced evidence that her work as a lawyer passes our notability standards for lawyers. Even under the incredibly lax standards of 2008, when in actual practice we did frequently let articles stand on candidacy alone far more often than we should have, this article should never have survived her withdrawal from the race.
