Overall: I tagged a couple of sourcing issues in the "Biography" section. As an aside, the page is notable per WP:NPOL, but it would seem better with an independent, secondary source or two that is more about about her, eliminating any doubt about WP:GNG. Also, the water bottle sources are essentially duplicates. Also, can the Maine election tabulation sources be more direct so readers don't need to find the relevant link on the general page? —Bagumba (talk) 12:30, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

I fixed the sourcing in the bio section, I'm off to find some more secondary sources now. We can consolidate the two water bottle sources, if you'd like. And the election result links go directly to a .xslx download, so I'd rather not. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 16:09, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
@Bagumba: I added more—not sure if we're getting to GNG on that, but it works. I consolidated the water bottle sources, but I'm iffy on the linking directly to the election results. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 16:31, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that Lori Gramlich, a survivor of sexual abuse in her childhood, introduced legislation that made it easier for sexual abuse survivors in Maine to file civil lawsuits?

The major sourcing issues are resolved and this is good to go. I also offered ALT1, as "against their abusers" was a bit repetitive with "abusers". Promoter can decide. Personally I'd just link to the .xslx for convenience, but that's something independent of this nomination. Another side comment outside of this DYK, "currently married" is a MOS:DATED concern (better to say married in <year>, if known) and a bit WP:OR that it's their child (as opposed to just her's).
