Former LG Bill Scranton, a prominent Republican moderate, endorses conservative Pat Toomey for Senate this morning. It's a coup for Toomey, a sign he is making progress in efforts to consolidate support in the party.
“I’m very confident in Pat Toomey and happy to support his candidacy," Scranton said in a statement. "Pat’s message of government reform, fiscal discipline, and restrained spending is one that all Pennsylvanians can rally around. I call upon our party leaders to unite around Pat Toomey’s candidacy and help put a Republican back in the Senate.”
Scranton continued, “We need his thoughtful voice in Washington, where one-party dominance has already begun to give us very irresponsible borrowing and spending policies. Pat Toomey will bring some much needed balance to the Senate.”
