Great Falls Tribune - Candidate linked to 'Nazi' group

The only Republican running for the state Legislature here has ties to a white supremacist group. Shawn Stuart, 24, told The Montana Standard on Friday he is Montana's contact point for the National Socialist Movement, a group that describes itself as "America's Nazi Party" on its Web site. Stewart is running for Butte's House District 76, along with Democrats Kevin Lowney and incumbent Jon Sesso. Stuart said he "has nothing against any other race," but believes they should be separate. "We have our right to exist in the world; they have their right to exist in the world," he said. A Bozeman native, Stuart said he believes his views align with the Republican Party. He joined the Marine Corps after graduating high school and served two combat tours in Iraq in 2003 and 2004, attaining the rank of corporal.
