| Submission declined on 27 July 2024 by Robert McClenon (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Andy Hopper (politician), which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

Comment: This draft, as written, does not appear to indicate that one of the biographical notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a subject satisfies a notability criterion. You may ask for advice about the biographical notability criteria at the Teahouse.In particular, see and refer to WP:NPOL for notability, which is the guideline that the subject should be evaluated against.

- Comment: He has not been elected yet, and WP:NPOL states that
Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline.
The sources do not establish WP:GNG either. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 03:25, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Andy Hopper (born February 18, 1977) is an American politician and the 2024 Republican nominee to represent District 64 in the Texas State House.[1] Andy Hopper defeated incumbent, Lynn Stucky, in the Republican Primary Runoff Election on May 28, 2024, sending him to the General Election in November where he will face Democratic challenger, Angela Brewer.[2]
Background
[edit]Hopper came onto the political scene in 2020 when he became a candidate in the Texas Senate District 30 race.[3] Hopper also challenged Lynn Stucky for the Texas House District 64 seat in the 2022 Republican Primary Election, but failed to secure the win, losing by 88 votes.[4] He and his wife, Amanda, are co-founders of Wise County Conservatives, an organization focused on turning out the conservative Republican vote at the local and state level.[5]
Hopper's campaign for Texas House District 64[6] has been endorsed by several notable individuals, including United States Senator from Texas Ted Cruz[7], Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton[8], Republican Party of Texas Chair Matt Rinaldi[9], Texas State Representatives Brian Harrison, Nate Schatzline, Tony Tinderholt, and Steve Toth[9], and rock musician Ted Nugent.[9]
He has also made a number of radio, television, and podcast appearances discussing his campaign and other current events.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
