White supremacist running for board

April 14, 2007

A man considered a white supremacist by a national civil rights group and
another who is well-known in the Coeur d'Alene School District for his
numerous information requests and phone calls have filed to run for the
Coeur d'Alene School Board.

Stan Hess, a self-proclaimed European-American civil rights activist, and
Hayden resident Brad St. John are running for seats in zones 3 and 2,
respectively. Hess will face incumbent Christie Wood, a sergeant with the
Coeur d'Alene police and a board member since 2000. St. John will go up
against 18-year board veteran and current chairman Vern Newby.

 
The Southern Poverty Law Center considers Hess to be a white supremacist of
national prominence. A former head of the California faction of ex-Ku Klux
Klan leader David Duke's European-American Unity and Rights Organization,
Hess was employed by the school district as a substitute bus driver until
late last year.

The election is May 15. Only people living in the zones can vote in the
election. Zone boundaries are available on the school district's Web site,
www.cdaschools.org.
