Tea Party Will Primary Olympia Snowe
Tea Party activist Andrew Ian Dodge said Friday that he will challenge Sen. Olympia Snowe in the 2012 Republican primary.
Dodge, of Harpswell, who heads the Maine Tea Party Patriots, made his announcement at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.
Dodge told the conservative Pajamas Media that he is “taking it to the next level as a fiscal conservative activist.”
“It is something that had to be done,” he said.
Snowe is running for a fourth term in 2012, and serves on several powerful Senate committees, including the Finance Committee.
