A member of a White supremacist political party has filed organization papers with Mesa to oppose District 3 City Councilman Dennis Kavanaugh in next year’s municipal elections.

Although Mesa’s local elections are nonpartisan, Ralph A. Brandt identified the American Third Position of Grand Forks, N.D., as his sponsoring organization.

American Third Position is a political party that was founded in 2009.

Its mission statement says, in part, “The American Third Position Party believes that government policy in the United States discriminates against White Americans, the majority population, and that White Americans need their own political party to fight this discrimination.”

This council attracts the bigots [from the link]:

...Brandt would not be the first far-right candidate to seek a Mesa City Council seat.

In 2006, J.T. Ready finished second in a four-way primary in District 4, but then-incumbent Kyle Jones won the seat outright with a majority of the vote.

Ready was not open about his neo-Nazi affiliations during that race, but he later identified himself with that movement. Pearce was an early political ally of Ready but later disavowed their relationship. ...

The individual mentioned here is Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce, who is the subject of a recall election due to his corruption and white supremacist ties.
And by "disavow", he means that his son (who is in the same "Minutemen" group) is best friends with Ready, and the two of them recruited convicted murderer Shawna Forde into their group. And never mind the fact that Ready and Pearce appeared on stage together at political rallies - AFTER Ready's neo-Nazi roots were made public.

Breivik copied a lot of his ideas from Third Position ideology.
