The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons.

If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.
