Larwyn's Linx: Tea Party Claims First Victory in 2014

04/25/2014

I felt like we needed more outsiders in Washington

With the 2014 mid-term elections 6 months away, the Tea Party has claimed its first victory.
Curt Clawson won a contentious GOP primary in Southwest Florida, filling the seat recently vacated by Trey Radel.
A businessman who spent more than $2 million in TV ads, Clawson was an unknown only a few months ago. He called himself an "outsider" against the more established Republicans:


Drawing support from Tea Party favorite Rand Paul, Clawson is to run in a special election on June 24 against Democrat April Freeman. Clawson is expected to win the solidly Republican district.
In another tweet, Clawson made it known why he decided to run.
