SENATOR COLLINS’ STATEMENT ON SENATOR SPECTER’S DECISION TO SWITCH PARTIES
April 28, 2009
U.S. Senator Susan Collins today released this statement following Senator Arlen Specter's decision to switch political parties.
"I have great respect for Senator Specter who has worked hard for many years on behalf of the people of Pennsylvania.
"I am, however, extremely surprised and disappointed with his decision to leave the Republican party.
"Senator Specter has long been a leading moderate voice in the Senate, and I believe that his decision is more a reflection of Pennsylvania politics than anything else."
