The Oregonian, Oregon’s largest newspaper, has this story with a video link about Kelly Gneitling, a founder of the Independent American Party. Gneitling is a sumo wrestler and he is part of the group that is occupying a federal office in eastern Oregon, in a protest over federal government land policies.

Gneitling challenges Governor Chris Christie to a sumo wrestling match. In 2014, the Independent American Party took over the Americans Elect Party in Arizona, and Gneitling was its nominee for State Senate in Arizona’s northeast corner. In a two-person race, Gneitling, with the Americans Elect label, polled 16.29%. Thanks to Political Wire for the link.
