Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The 2016 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania will take place on November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Pennsylvania, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in numerous other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. The primaries were held on April 26.

Incumbent Republican Senator Pat Toomey is running for re-election to a second term in office.

Background

Five-term Senator Arlen Specter, a moderate Republican, switched to the Democratic Party in April 2009, running for re-election in 2010 as such. He was defeated in the Democratic primary by U.S. Representative and former U.S. Navy three-star admiral Joe Sestak. After a close race, Sestak lost the general election to former U.S. Representative Pat Toomey by 51% to 49%, a margin of 80,229 votes out of almost 4 million cast.

After the Republicans took control of the Senate following the 2014 Senate elections, the election in Pennsylvania is seen by many as a top target for the Democrats, who hope to regain their majority.[1][2][3]
