ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, a fiercely anti-tax and anti-regulation lawmaker who never entirely warmed to President Donald Trump, will not seek re-election in 2022, he announced Monday morning.
Toomey, 58, will also not run for governor in 2022, when the seat becomes open. Instead, he says he will finish out his term before returning to the private sector."My family and I have reached a decision, and I wanted to share that with the people of Pennsylvania," Toomey said Monday during a press conference near his home in suburban Allentown. "And that is that I will not be running for re-election in 2022, and I will not be running and I will not be running for Governor.
