Republican congressional candidate who wore Nazi uniform loses to Ohio Democrat

Source: AP

TOLEDO, Ohio � A congressional candidate criticized for dressing in a Nazi uniform during World War II re-enactments has lost his election bid in Ohio.

Republican Rich Iott lost to Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who has been in Congress since 1983.
