Just one month removed from Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) decision to vote for immigration reform, does not appear to be fazed by his Tea Party critics.

Alexander was one of 14 GOP senators to vote yes in late June's Senate vote on immigration reform. According to a Wednesday Reuters report, the White House expects Congress to pass a plan, despite resistance from House Republicans toward some elements of the Senate plan.
On Monday, the Chattanooga Times Free Press revealed that several Tea Party challengers could emerge against Alexander in his 2014 primary race. Nashville Tea Party President Ben Cunningham told the paper "there are a number of people who are very seriously considering it." Chattanooga Tea Party President Mark West floated Kevin Kookogey, a former Tennessee county GOP chairman as another possibility in the report.
