TOLEDO, Ohio — A congressional candidate criticized for dressing in a Nazi uniform during World War II re-enactments has lost his election bid in Ohio.

Republican Rich Iott lost to Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who has been in Congress since 1983.

Iott was a little-known political newcomer when photos surfaced in October of him wearing a Nazi uniform. He was a considered a longshot even before the photos went viral.

He says he took part in the historical re-enactments to educate the public and didn't agree with the Nazis' views or their actions against Jews.
