Sen. Toomey Receives PA Bio Award

Statement

U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) has been named the Federal Public Official of the Year for the Senate by Pennsylvania Bio, the state's biosciences industry trade association.

Sen. Toomey accepted the award at a meeting today at his Capitol Hill office.

"In Pennsylvania, we have the potential to create tens of thousands of additional jobs in the life sciences industry and continue to be a leader in the creation of life-saving technologies and products. Many of our up-and-coming medical device companies are on the cutting edge of exciting innovations and discoveries, from handheld devices that help our troops detect traumatic brain injuries during battle to non-invasive respirators," Sen. Toomey said. "I'm proud to support legislation that promotes this growing industry, helps improve lives and creates new job opportunities for Pennsylvanians. I thank Pennsylvania Bio for this recognition and am honored to accept this award."
