Toomey Defeats Sestak

Republican Pat Toomey has won a close to replace Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter by narrowly defeating Democrat Joe Sestak in Tuesday's election.

The margin of victory is 2 percentage points.

Toomey is a conservative former congressman and a former investment banker and businessman.

Sestak is a U.S. Congressman and a former Navy vice admiral who defeated Specter in the Democratic primary.

In a news release, US Senator BOb Casey said, “Any help that I or my office can provide will be available to Senator-elect Toomey to ensure that the needs of Pennsylvanians, especially those with constituency advocacy case work, are met during the transition.

“I look forward to meeting with Senator-elect Toomey soon to further discuss how we can work together for the people of Pennsylvania.

“As election results continue to be tallied in Pennsylvania and around the country, we move close to the end of a long campaign season. We must all come together to fix the problems facing Pennsylvania and the country. The top priorities must be job creation, rebuilding the economy, helping those hurt by the recession and targeting terrorists.”
