Tea Party Patriots Fund Endorses Joe Carr in Tennessee Primary

The Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund announced today that they have endorsed Joe Carr, the Republican challenger to Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN)

“Joe Carr embodies the values of personal freedom, economic freedom and a debt-free future,” TPPCF Chairman Jenny Beth Martin said in a statement. “In contrast to his incumbent opponent, Joe is willing to take the fight to both liberal Democrats and establishment Republicans in defense of liberty.”

Martin highlighted Carr’s anti-amnesty record on illegal immigration, citing the issue as a critical one for the Tea Party in the 2014 elections.

“While Joe Carr has been a genuine leader – not just a reliable vote – in the fight against illegal immigration, Lamar Alexander voted with Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid and John McCain for the Gang of Eight amnesty bill,” Martin said. “Joe wants to preserve American sovereignty; Lamar Alexander’s policies are producing a human wave of criminality and disease on the Rio Grande.”

Martin also pointed out that Alexander sought to work with Harry Reid on Obamacare, voting for cloture to bring the bill to the Senate floor.

“Lamar Alexander is wrong on Obamacare and wrong on amnesty,” Martin added. “Fortunately, conservatives in Tennessee have a choice, and we urge them to give Joe Carr their vote and their support. We’re proud to endorse him.”

TEA Party Patriots?

Isn't that one of those self-serving PACs that spends a lot more money on the organizers than on elections?

I have no clue on the various groups who identify as Tea Party. Seems like a lot of inefficient duplication going on.

I sure hope that Lamar Alexander gets kicked to the curb.

As someone posted at the site, I wonder if the Dems will come out and vote for Lamar like they did for Cochran? Let’s see who the NRSC gives $ to in this election.
