Oct 14, 2012

JOHNSTOWN, PA - Congressman Mark S. Critz (PA-12) issued the following statement today on the passing of Senator Arlen Specter:

"Senator Specter will be remembered for a lot of things: a prosecutor and legal expert, an independent-minded legislator, a champion for cancer and other medical research, and a fixture in Pennsylvania and U.S. politics for over three decades. We are a better Commonwealth and nation because of his service and I hope it is a comfort to his wife, Joan, and to their entire family that so many grieve their loss and are praying for them during this sad time."
