=Candidacy=

A perennial candidate, Jones has run for various elected offices since 1976, but has never won an office. In that year, Jones unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.{{cite news|first1=Lynn|last1=Sweet|first2=Frank|last2=Main|url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/holocaust-denier-arthur-jones-republican-3rd-congressional-district-lipinski-newman/|title=Holocaust denier poised to claim GOP nomination in Illinois race for Congress|work=Chicago Sun-Times|access-date=February 6, 2018|date=February 6, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180206143824/https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/holocaust-denier-arthur-jones-republican-3rd-congressional-district-lipinski-newman/|archive-date=February 6, 2018|url-status=dead}} In 1987, he unsuccessfully ran for alderman of the 13th Ward of Chicago. As of 2018, Jones had run for the U.S. House of Representatives as a Republican eight times; in 1984, 1992, 1996, 1998, 2006, 2008, 2012, and 2018. In 1989 Jones had attempted to run for mayor of Chicago, but was denied inclusion on the Republican primary ballot due to issues regarding his candidature petition.{{cite web |title=State of Illinois, County of Cook, Case No: 88-EB-SMAY-7 |date=19 January 1989 |url=https://app.chicagoelections.com/documents/Electoral-Board/document_1462.PDF |website=Chicago Board of Election Commissioners}}

In 2017, Jones declared his intent to run for the Republican nomination for Congress from Illinois's 3rd congressional district in 2018; he was the only declared candidate of that party. His candidacy was repudiated by the Illinois Republican Party and the Republican National Committee. RNC spokesperson Michael Ahrens stated, "We condemn this candidate and his hateful rhetoric in the strongest possible terms".{{cite news|first=Eric|last=Cortellessa|title=Republican National Committee condemns Holocaust-denying GOP House candidate|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/republican-national-committee-condemns-holocaust-denying-gop-house-candidate/|access-date=February 6, 2018|date=February 6, 2018|work=The Times of Israel}} Jones won the primary unopposed on March 20, 2018, and moved on to face Democratic incumbent Dan Lipinski in the general election. Following his primary victory, Republican party officials encouraged members not to vote for Jones.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/20/us/politics/arthur-jones-illinois.html|title=Denounced by His Party as a Nazi, Arthur Jones Wins Illinois G.O.P.

Jones ran for Congress in Illinois's 3rd congressional district again in 2020 and was described as a "fake Republican" by the party whose nomination he was attempting to gain. One of the party's digital ads ran with the slogan "Say No To The Nazi".{{cite news|last=Sfondeles|first=Tina|url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2020/3/4/21165146/illinois-republican-targets-holocaust-denier-arthur-jones-say-no-nazi-ads-primary|title=Illinois GOP targets Holocaust denier Arthur Jones with 'Say No To The Nazi' ads|work=Chicago Sun-Times|date=March 4, 2020|access-date=March 18, 2020}} He placed a poor third in the eventual result of the primaries.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/17/us/elections/results-illinois-house-district-3-primary-election.html|title=Illinois Primary Election Results: Third House District|work=The New York Times|date=March 17, 2020|access-date=March 17, 2020}}

A neo-Nazi, Jones appears in a photo captioned: "Jones was a guest speaker at the event organized by the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, based in North Carolina"; the image is in a slideshow on his own official candidate website.{{cite web|url=http://artjonesforcongressman.com/congress-2016-candidate-bio/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160830052839/http://artjonesforcongressman.com/congress-2016-candidate-bio/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=August 30, 2016|title=Art Jones for Congressman (candidate official website) "View More Pictures of Art with Family & Friends" slideshow (img 22: 017.jpg)|author=Art Jones for Congressman|date=2016–18|access-date=Feb 8, 2018}} The same slideshow has another image (captioned "Arthur Jones speaking in Harrisburg Penn., on November 5, 2016") showing him among black-clothed men who hold a National Socialist Movement banner and carry shields marked with the neo-Nazi circle-cross emblem.{{cite web|url=http://artjonesforcongressman.com/congress-2016-candidate-bio/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160830052839/http://artjonesforcongressman.com/congress-2016-candidate-bio/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=August 30, 2016|title=Art Jones for Congressman (candidate official website) "View More Pictures of Art with Family & Friends" slideshow (img 3: np4.jpg)|author=Art Jones for Congressman|date=2016–18|access-date=Feb 8, 2018}} The same slideshow has an image showing Jones speaking amid Aryan Nations emblems (caption: "Art Jones speaking at the Aryan Nations 2014 World Congress in Converse, La."){{cite web|url=http://artjonesforcongressman.com/congress-2016-candidate-bio/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160830052839/http://artjonesforcongressman.com/congress-2016-candidate-bio/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=August 30, 2016|title=Art Jones for Congressman (candidate official website) "View More Pictures of Art with Family & Friends" slideshow (img 7: 002.jpg)|author=Art Jones for Congressman|date=2016–18|access-date=Feb 8, 2018}}

Jones has attended many rallies commemorating Adolf Hitler or supporting white supremacy. Jones considers himself a "white racialist" and has stated "I will work with the [Ku Klux] Klan, with socialists—I exclude communists of course—any patriotic organization that is in general agreement with my beliefs and principles".

In 2016, he was a supporter of Donald Trump for president. Jones said in an interview then, "I agree with a lot of what Mr. Trump has to say [...] He's his own man. I like the fact that doesn't have to go hat in hand to Jewish billionaires to get money".{{Cite news|first=Lorraine|last=Swanson|url=https://patch.com/illinois/oaklawn/holocaust-denier-kicked-illinois-gop-primary-ballot-will-back-trump|title=Holocaust Denier Kicked Off Illinois GOP Primary Ballot Likes Trump - Except for One Little Thing|date=January 26, 2016|work=Oak Lawn, IL Patch|access-date=February 6, 2018|language=en-US}} In February 2018, Jones nonetheless said President Trump "surrounded himself with hordes of Jews", and regrets his 2016 vote. At a neo-Nazi meeting in Kentucky, Jones said that Trump "surrounded himself with hordes of Jews including a Jew in his own family, that punk named Jared Kushner", and moved on to say "I'm sorry I voted for the son of a bitch, pardon my English" and that Trump was "nothing but a puppet … this Jew-loving fool", all of which was also captured on video.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, it takes thousands more signatures to get ballot-approved as an independent candidate than as a Republican; Jones therefore ran in 2016 as a Republican, but the party disavowed him and found technical reasons for removing him from past ballots. Again according to the Sun-Times, Jones took countermeasures in 2017 and 2018 for which the party was unprepared, and so he appeared on their ballot despite official Republican disapproval.
