'''Patrick Joseph “Pat” Toomey''' (born November 17, 1961) is the junior [[Republican]] [[United States Senator]] from [[Pennsylvania]] and was a three-term Congressman from [[Pennsylvania]]'s 15th Congressional District from 1999 through 2005. In 2004, Toomey attempted to unseat the entrenched [[Arlen Specter]] from his Senate seat in the Republican primary. Despite being outspent by Specter, who as a [[liberal]] also received newspaper endorsements, Toomey lost the primary by just 2% of the vote. He served as the president of [[Club for Growth|The Club for Growth]] from 2005–2009. In April 2009, Toomey announced that he would make a second attempt for the [[U.S. Senate]], against thirty-year incumbent, now-Democrat Arlen Specter. Winning the republican primary by a large margin, Toomey defeated Sestak in the fall. A [[conservative]], Toomey is [[pro-life]] and a strong advocate for limited government, tax cuts, and reduced wasteful spending. Unfortunately, Toomey is also a supporter of [[gun control]], and co-wrote the Manchin-Toomey gun-grab bill with [[Democrat]] [[Joe Manchin]].
