Regional/local political figure is not notable per WP:NPOL. deputy chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota and communications director for the Republican caucus in the Minnesota Senate are not notable positions. Surprised this page wasn't deleted back in 2011. KidAd • SPEAK 20:08, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep For the period 2005-2016 a search on newspapers.com turns up 65 articles in the Star Tribune, 42 articles in the St. Cloud Times and 24 articles in the Winona Daily News. I've only scanned a few pages of the results, but I see front page articles from the Star Tribune and front page of the B section (I assume the state politics section). For a period of time, Brodkorb was a high profile, influential player in Minnesota state politics, who then had a spectacular and public fall from grace.
