Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican who favored limited government spending, plans to announce on Monday that he won’t seek re-election in 2022, according to a person familiar with the matter. A spokesman for Mr. Toomey declined to comment. Mr. Toomey, 58-years-old, was elected to the Senate during the 2010 tea-party movement. He defeated the late Sen. Arlen Specter, a multiterm moderate who was elected as a Republican but switched to the Democratic Party in 2009. Mr. Toomey has focused on trade and tax policy.
