An outspoken Holocaust denier is likely to appear on the November ballot as the Republican nominee for a Chicago-area congressional district.

70-year-old Arthur Jones is the only Republican candidate in the March 20 primary for the 3rd Congressional District which leans heavily democratic.

Jones calls the Holocaust “the biggest, blackest lie in history.” He says he’s a former leader of the American Nazi Party and now leads a group open to “any white American citizen of European, non-Jewish descent.” Jones has run before but never been a viable candidate. This year, Illinois Republicans didn’t field another candidate and no one challenged Jones’ petitions.

Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider says: “We strongly oppose his racist views and his candidacy for any public office.”
