Someone has stenciled a face and the name "Hitler" on at least five of Tim O'Hare's mayoral campaign signs in Farmers Branch.
The vandalism happened Monday night in locations including Mr. O'Hare's campaign headquarters, his yard and the yard of fellow City Council member Tim Scott.
Mr. O'Hare has led his city's efforts to drive out illegal immigrants.
"Comparing me to the worst mass murderer in the history of the planet is totally preposterous and shameful," he said.
His opponent in the May 10 mayor's race, Gene Bledsoe, also condemned the vandalism.
"It is not American, it is not the way politics has historically been done in Farmers Branch ... it's wrong," he said. "I don't want anybody I know to be associated with anything like that."
Police Chief Sid Fuller said police were investigating the incident as criminal mischief.
Other vandalism has also occurred in the city during the illegal immigration debate.
After Mayor Bob Phelps voiced opposition last May to a proposal to bar apartment complexes from renting to illegal immigrants, someone threw a rock through a window of his home.
Months earlier, someone had spray-painted "Viva Mexicos" across the side of his house.
