Kris Kobach, the Republican Secretary of State from Kansas, employs three members of a white nationalist group in his campaign for governor, according to a report in the Topeka Capital-Journal.

The newspaper said in an article late Friday that it learned about the extreme political views of the three men from GOP consultants who have worked in Republicans circles in the state.

The men, all in their early 20s, are members of American Heritage Initiative, a sub-group of Identity Evropa, described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a campus-based white supremacy group that builds community from shared racial identity. The SPLC states, members of the group don’t identify as “racists” but rather, “identitarians” interested in preserving Western culture.

According to an expense reports made public this week and reported by the Topeka Capital-Journal, Kurtis Engel, Collin Gustin and Michael Pyles received $1,250 to $3,100 in payments from Kobach’s campaign between June 8 and July 26.
