Me.

His name is Arthur Jones, a holocaust denier and a self- described former leader to the American Nazi Party. He has ties to white supremacy groups.

This is his 6 th attempt to run for a seat. GOP denounces him. Previously the state GOP had found someone to run against him in the primary. Reportedly, the GOP was unable to find someone willing to do so this time so he ran unapposed.

20,000 voted for him. GOP says it will try to find an Independent challenger.

The moderate Democrat will rewind his seat.

He has run on the Republican ticket 6 times.

He claims he is a Registered Republican. ( Illinois is an open primary state)

His positions ( sans the Nazi) are similar to most Republicans who run for office.

Dems are so proud!
Byrd renounced the KKK in the 1940s. How old are you to remember when we was a member...?
