DSCC Communications Director Justin Barasky released the following statement on Pat Toomey as he officially launches his re-election campaign:
“After spending years voting against the best interests of Pennsylvania families and serving as President of a Washington special interest group, Pat Toomey is one of the most vulnerable Senators in the country up for re-election. His official campaign launch today comes after his special interest friends have already spent $2 million propping him up to try and overcome his underwater approval numbers and far right positions. Time and again, Pat Toomey has sided with special interests to defund Planned Parenthood, oppose raising the minimum wage, and to end Medicare as we know it which would raise costs for seniors. Next November, Pennsylvania families will remember that Pat Toomey left them behind.”
