Didier has become active in the Tea Party protests and officially announced his run for U.S. Senate as a Republican against Democratic incumbent Patty Murray.

During the campaign against Dino Rossi, Didier was endorsed by outside political figures such as former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and former Congressman Ron Paul. He finished third in Washington's top-two primary, getting 12.76% of the vote.

Positions

Didier does not believe people should rely on government handouts. He has said that businesses should be allowed to fail in the free market and social programs for the poor should be slashed.

Didier advocates a non-interventionist foreign policy, similar to that of Ron Paul. Didier says: "I subscribe to Jefferson’s view, and favor a non-interventionist philosophy. We need to stop trying to police the world and telling other nations how to manage their affairs. It is depleting our wealth and draining our national spirit. America is a republic; therefore let's stop trying to spread 'democracy.'"
