Indiana: Life-Long Democrat and Former KKK Member Running Against GOP Incumbent...
That would make two former KKK members in Congress, both Democrats...
Warsaw resident and avowed white supremacist Tom Metzger is seeking the Third District U.S. Congressman seat as a write-in candidate.
Souder (R-Fort Wayne) is seeking his ninth term and was elected to Congress in 1994 after working for U.S. Senator Dan Coats (R-IN) for 10 years during Coats' tenure in the House and Senate.
Ann Torpy, chief deputy clerk, said a write-in candidate for U.S. representative is not required to have a petition signed by voters.
Metzger, 71, has led the Ku Klux Klan and founded his own white supremacist group.
During an interview this morning at the Times-Union, Metzger said he decided two to three weeks ago that he will seek the 3rd district congressional seat as a write-in candidate.
Metzger said he has a history of being in the political arena for a long time.
He said he was a precinct worker for the campaign for Barry Goldwater in 1964.
In 1980, he won the Democratic Party's nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives in San Diego. He later lost in the general election to the Republican incumbent.
In 1982, he received three percent of the vote during a United States Senate run in the Democratic Party Primary.
