Specter endorses Barletta
By Alex Roarty
U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Philadelphia) endorsed congressional candidate Lou Barletta on Monday, a move that could help the Hazelton mayor win moderate voters in the largely Democratic district.
Barletta faces U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Nanticoke) this fall in the 11th Congressional District, considered one of the country's most competitive races.
Specter and Barletta do not see eye-to-eye on every issue, especially immigration. Barletta has become known nationwide for his anti-illegal immigration stance while mayor of Hazelton.
Specter is considered a much more moderate Republican and has advocated for degree of amnesty for illegal aliens in the past.
But the two had only kind words for each other in a statement released by Barletta's campaign.
"Lou Barletta has won the confidence of both parties and that's really quite an accomplishment," Specter said.
