PA’s Senators have each said that they’re looking forward to working with one another. Now it turns out that their spirit of civility will get its national debut during President Obama’s State of the Union address.

“The simple act of sitting together in a normally divided chamber will send an important signal that legislating shouldn’t be about taking partisan sides,” said Senator Casey. “Senator Toomey and I will sit together as public officials representing all the people of Pennsylvania.  I look forward to working together and hope the bipartisan spirit will continue for all Members of Congress.”

“I am proud to sit with my fellow colleague from Pennsylvania, Senator Bob Casey,” Senator Toomey said.  “There will be many opportunities for us to work together in the 112^th Congress, and sitting next to each other is a small, but important step towards setting a civil and cooperative tone for the challenging work ahead of us.”
