The Tea Party primary is under sail, with the first two Republicans to officially launch presidential campaigns being darlings of the grassroots movement.

Be they called liberty Republicans, or constitutional conservatives, the candidates seek to be in sync with a disenchanted electorate, broaden their base and win over undeclared voters.

Will 2016 be a coming of age election for the movement?

That is how the Tea Party Express puts it.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., are now candidates. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., makes his big announcement Monday. Together, they are the 2016 trifecta, according to Sal Russo, chief strategist for the Tea Party Express.

Other likely candidates are also likely to strike some Tea Party and liberty chords, including former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and Dr. Ben Carson.

A number of activists are intent on their message being heard.

The New Hampshire Center for Economic Policy, an organization for a free-market, limited government, hosted Carson for a town meeting earlier this week. Andrew Hemingway, a former chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire and 2014 GOP candidate for governor, is CEO of the center.

The Conservative Business League of New Hampshire, a new group established to identify constitutional conservatives, is organized by some prominent activists. One of them is Jack Kimball, a former state GOP chairman and founder of the Granite State Patriots Liberty PAC.

Ray Buckley, chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, has in the past called Tea Party candidates extreme right-wingers. Those diggers will bring a case of dj vu for those recalling the 2012 and 2014 election cycles.

Listen Story audio 3min 58sec Republican congressman Tom EmmerBrett Neely | MPR News

U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer made a name for himself in Minnesota politics as a brash and unapologetic conservative and as a champion of the tea party movement.

But as Minnesota's newest member of Congress, the Republican who represents the 6th District has struck a more low-key note. Some of his allies worry he may no longer be on their side.

Some say Emmer has changed quite a bit from the days when he built a reputation as a verbal grenade launcher.

As a state legislator, he called for the nullification of federal laws.

As a candidate for governor in 2010, Emmer questioned whether restaurant servers should be paid the minimum wage and won the backing of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

As a conservative talk radio host in the Twin Cities, Emmer didn't pull any punches when talking about Democrats.

"They're destroying wealth in the United States of America because they hate wealthy people unless they're paying for their campaigns," he said in September of 2011.

These days, Emmer is a lot different.

He can sometimes be found holding the gavel inside a nearly empty U.S. House chamber, practicing his poker face for the C-SPAN cameras and announcing that "the House will be in order."
