Admitted Nazi Arthur Jones Running For Congress Again In Bid To Challenge Rep. Dan Lipinski
CHICAGO (CBS) — Self-avowed Nazi and Holocaust denier Arthur Jones is making another bid for Congress, two years after getting 26% of the vote in his failed bid against U.S. Rep Dan Lipinski.
Jones, of Lyons, has filed nominating petitions to run as a Republican in the 3rd congressional district in 2020, but unlike his previous attempts to defeat Lipinski, this time he’s not the only Republican in the race

Despite admitting he was once a member of the American Nazi Party and remains a denier of the Holocaust, Jones got 57,885 votes in 2018 when he ran against Lipinski.
“If I really believed the Holocaust had taken place, I wouldn’t have joined the Nazi Party,” Jones told the Daily Southtown in 2018.

Dan Lipinski is a dem but most of the time votes with republicans in congress. He has challengers on the left and now this nutbag running as a republican. It's a conservative district that has a small part of Chicago in it.
