Patrick Joseph "Pat" Toomey (b. 1961) is a [[conservative]] activist who was a successful owner of restaurants in [[Pennsylvania]] in the 1990s, and then served as a Republican Congressman from that state from 1999 through 2004, when he complied with his term-limit pledge and retired from [[Congress]].

Toomey then attempted to unseat entrenched [[Republican]] [[Arlen Specter]] from his Senate seat in the Republican primary. Despite being outspent by Specter, who as a [[liberal]] also received newspaper endorsements, and despite being opposed by President [[George W. Bush]] and [[conservative]] Republican Senator [[Rick Santorum]], who campaigned hard for the [[liberal]] Specter, Toomey shocked observers by coming within 2% of defeating Specter.

Toomey then became President of the [[Club for Growth]] in January 2005.

Politically, Toomey is [[pro-life]] and [[conservative]] on [[economic]] issues also.
