Article was previously declined in draftspace for notability reasons, but was forced through to mainspace anyway. Political candidates (especially state-level figures) rarely if ever meet WP:NPOL, see WP:POLOUTCOMES for common outcomes for candidates. Even if one were to look at Lassiter's political career as a town council, Apex, North Carolina is not a city of global reputation that would make their municipal politicians inherently notable (the Bearcat test). If we were to look at the article through a GNG lens, the current sources point to Lassiter's campaign, his foundation, and Ballotpedia; none of which are reliable in establishing notability. One could make a weak case that the secondary sources about his wife's affair with the speaker of the NC house and the lawsuit, but that is not enough to establish notability either.
