Pat Toomey, Fashion Plate

The Spring 2004 Men’s Health Guide to Style features a brief profile of Representative Pat Toomey as someone who is “Red Hot, Right Now.” The text notes social security is one of Toomey’s key campaign issues as he challenges Senator Specter and makes no mention of social issues. “I’m a conservative, and my style of dress is consistent with that–generally a dark suit and a white or blue shirt,” Toomey says about his Washington wardrobe. Back in Pennsylvania, the profile says “Toomey may cut loose.” The accompanying photo shows Toomey “in an Ermenegildo Zegna ensemble” in front of his twin-engine Piper Seneca.
