Sharron Angle to attend 'conservative Joes' funder

By Sean J. Miller - 03/17/11 08:46 AM ET

Nevada Republican Sharron Angle will continue to court Tea Party activists outside her home state as she makes a run for the House.

Angle became a national figure last year during her race against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.), which helped her raise some $28 million for the campaign. With an eye toward maintaining that donor base, Angle is set to appear at a March 24 event billed as "an evening with the Joes."

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Samuel "Joe The Plumber" Wurzelbacher and former Alaska Senate candidate Joe Miller are coming together at a Montara, Calif., fundraiser.

Tickets range from $212 to $2,012. It's unclear if Angle will benefit directly from the event. According to a release, the money raised goes to the Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama, a group organized by the California-based Tea Party Express, which backed Angle in her Senate bid.

Angle announced Wednesday that she is entering the race to succeed Rep. Dean Heller (R-Nev.), who is running for Senate.
