WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) today announced their intention to sit together during President Obama’s State of the Union address on Jan. 24.
“Pennsylvanians want their lawmakers to work together to solve problems,” said Senator Casey. “Over the past year, Senator Toomey and I have collaborated on a host of issues important to our constituents. I look forward to sitting next to Senator Toomey at this year’s State of the Union address and to continuing our work on behalf of the Commonwealth in the spirit of bipartisanship throughout the year.”
"I am pleased to sit with my colleague from Pennsylvania, Sen. Bob Casey," Senator Toomey said. "As the second session of the 112th Congress begins, sitting next to each other is a small but worthwhile step toward setting a civil and cooperative tone for the challenging work ahead of us."
