Amy Kremer


Amy Kremer (born 1970 or 1971) is an American political activist involved in the Tea Party movement.

Kremer previously worked for Delta Air Lines as a flight attendant, but gave up her job to focus on raising her daughter. She became politically active in the Tea Party movement through Twitter and was involved in organising the first Tea Party protests in 2009. She later described herself as having been "just a mom who was sick and fed up with what was going on in Washington." She was a founding member of Tea Party Patriots (TPP), but defected to Tea Party Express (TPE) in October 2009. Following her departure TPP filed a lawsuit against Kremer alleging she had tried to prevent others from accessing the group's collective resources.

Soon after joining Tea Party Express, Kremer urged the organization to support Scott Brown's campaign for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts. During the 2010 midterm elections Kremer campaigned for candidates including Joe Miller, who ran for the U.S. Senate in Alaska. She also endorsed Tom Tancredo, the American Constitution Party candidate for governor of Colorado. In October 2010, The Daily Telegraph named her the "most influential" person in the Tea Party movement.
