On Principles & Values: 2009: Tea Party roadtrip to recruit candidates

In 2009. the Tea Party protests and the health-care town hall meeting happened. I joined Rep. Lynn Westmoreland on a road trip across America to visit districts and recruit candidates.

There was one person who caught my eye when we were recruiting in Tennessee: Stephen Fincher. After we met, he decided to run for Congress in against Rep. John Tanner, an entrenched incumbent who hadn't faced serious opposition since 1994. [After Fincher gained momentum], Tanner announced he would not seek reelection!
