STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's new gig on Wall Street will line his pockets, to the tune of more than $1 million per year. And for those who played an instrumental role in his defeat in Virginia's primaries, the justification of their concerns about the former congressman is quite fulfilling.

Kevin Broughton, communications director of the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, said, "many analysts accused Eric Cantor of paying more attention to Wall Street than to the people of Virginia's 7th District. He certainly didn't waste any time validating that theory."

Cantor, who was the No. 2 Republican in the House, lost his primary this year to unknown college professor David Brat. Part of the reason was voters thought he was disconnected from his Richmond, Virginia, district by focusing instead on his duties as a fundraiser and national leader for the Republican Party. He left Congress early, resigning his seat last month.

Since 1999, the seven-term congressman had raised more than $3 million from the investment industry. And in his last campaign, the industry was his largest contributor, donating $785,000, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

For disaffected conservatives, especially among the tea party, which came to life early in the Obama administration and took on a populist message, Cantor's move to a boutique investment bank, Moelis & Co., as a vice chairman and board member is proof that their concerns were spot on.

In a statement, Cantor said, "When I considered options for the next chapter of my career, I knew I wanted to join a firm with a great entrepreneurial spirit that focused on its clients."

Some took to Twitter to express their satisfaction:

Tea Party to Cantor: We told you so

Sen.Lamar Alexander celebrates after defeating State Sen. Joe Carr, Thursday Aug. 7, 2014 in Nashville.

Five things to know about the Nov. 4 general election and other ballot issues in Tennessee:

1. U.S. SENATE RACE

Republican U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander is strongly favored to win re-election in November. In the August primary, Alexander fended off a tea party challenge by state Rep. Joe Carr. Carr had high-profile endorsements from tea party-allied figures, but he could not overcome Alexander's fundraising advantage and 40 years in Tennessee politics. The 74-year-old Alexander, who has served two terms as the state's governor and two terms in the Senate, will face Democratic candidate and attorney Gordon Ball in the general election.

GOVERNOR'S RACE

Republican Gov. Bill Haslam, who faced only nominal primary opposition, will likely coast to a second term. His Democratic opponent is a 72-year-old hunter named Charlie Brown, who did manage to win the Democratic primary for governor by more than 35,000 votes. Following his victory, Brown told The Tennessean newspaper: "I'm a redneck hillbilly, and I want to put this state first. I want to put Tennessee up front."

3. WINE IN SUPERMARKETS

After years of debate, state lawmakers passed a law this year that allows wine to be sold by grocery and convenience stores starting in July 2016 if citizens vote to approve the change. Only communities that currently allow package stores or liquor by the drink are eligible to hold votes as long as at least 10 percent of voters in the community sign petitions. Currently in Tennessee, wine can be sold only in liquor stores.

4. ABORTION AMENDMENT

A proposed constitutional amendment would give lawmakers more power to regulate abortion in the state. Abortion rights supporters strongly oppose the measure, saying it would allow the Legislature to put in place new laws regulating abortion even in cases of rape, incest or danger to the health of the mother.

Tennessee tea party backers take heart from primary vote

BOISE - Idaho's red state roots haven't faded, but political infighting inside its Republican Party has left many feeling disenfranchised with the so-called traditional GOP candidates who will appear on this year's election ballot.

Tea party voters, who showed to be a powerful voting bloc in the May GOP primary election, are threatening to stay home or vote for a Democratic candidate rather than vote for the Republican.

This means Gov. Butch Otter, who is seeking a third-term, could face a tighter race against Democratic challenger A.J. Balukoff, a millionaire who has said he'll spend as much as he needs to win.

"I've never voted for a Democrat, I've been a lifelong Republican, but in November, I'm voting for Balukoff," said Rob Waite, superintendent of Shoshone School District in south-central Idaho.

Waite, who has lived in Idaho for the past five years, said he's a libertarian who agrees with most of the tea party platforms.

As a superintendent, Waite said he's most interested in the gubernatorial candidates' plan to improve education in Idaho, citing low public school funding and lackluster college graduation rates as high areas of concern.

"In order to solve the problem, you first have to recognize there's a problem," Waite said. "I don't think Otter recognizes there's a problem."

In North Idaho, state GOP Rep. Vito Barbieri said it's doubtful his conservative district would swing Democratic, but he thinks many voters will be likely to leave the governor's box unchecked.

During the GOP May primary election, Barbieri's district - located in Kootenai County, one of the state's most populated areas - backed tea party favorite state Sen. Russ Fulcher in the governor's race.

"Voters are still very upset at the governor for abandoning previously articulated principles," he said. "They are very much in the mood to punish him in this election."
