Senator Bob Casey said he's not retiring and isn't ruling out a return to public office after losing to Senator-elect Dave McCormick in the Pennsylvania senate race“I never say never,” Casey said Monday during what was expected to be his final official visit to Philadelphia as he closes out his third senate term.
Casey also said he hopes to find something that also taps into his interest in helping children and families. Casey on Monday visited Cradles to Crayons, an organization that provides clothing and diapers to families. His office says he helped secure $363,000 in federal funding for the organization to expand its diaper bank.Before his three terms in the U.S. Senate, Casey served as Pennsylvania’s auditor general and state treasurer. He is the son of the late Pennsylvania Gov. Robert Casey and previously ran for governor himself, but lost.
Asked about why voters made a different choice this year, Casey said “we’ll have a better idea over time” with voter file data. He also cited the money spent against him and the effect of now President-elect Donald Trump, who won Pennsylvania. McCormick beat Casey by a little more than 15,000 votes, according to state election data posted online, but tens of thousands of voters chose a third party candidate over the Democrat or Republican in the race.The combined votes for the Libertarian and Green Party candidates totaled more than 150,000 - 10 times the margin between Casey and McCormick.
