Eight overt white nationalists are running for office in 2018—a new record, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Over 20,000 people voted in a GOP primary this past March for former American Nazi Party member Art Jones, making him the Republican candidate for the US House in Illinois’ 3rd District.

Dianne Feinstein’s seat in California, and got more than 50,000 votes.
