Source: CNN

Washington (CNN) A Holocaust denier is now officially the Republican nominee in a Chicago-area House race after running unopposed in Tuesday's primary.

Arthur Jones' campaign website includes a section titled "Holocaust?" and he has been involved with anti-Semitic and racist groups since the 1970s, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

Jones will face off against the Democratic nominee in the 2018 midterm election to represent the solid blue district, where Rep. Dan Lipinski has held the seat for more than a decade. The 3rd District represents parts of Chicago and nearby suburbs, including La Grange and Western Springs.

to turn out and vote at all. If someone thinks an election is a lock - they're more likely to not vote. There's more at stake than Rep Corey R. Lewandowski extremely safe and well represented seat. We need to foster the fear that while Corey's leading, the Nazi might well have Steve Bannon's help and Cheetolini's express blessing and is slowly closing the gap with the possible help from the Koch billions.

We need to turn out the vote and vote every single election. We need as many state legislature's as we can get to fix GOP gerrymandering, too. The next census is 2020.
