Meet Pat Toomey: The Senate's Candy Man

Sen. Pat Toomey holds the responsibility of stocking the Senate candy desk.

“Pennsylvania, as everyone knows, is the candy capital of America. It was totally appropriate that I be the candy man,” Toomey told ABC News.

“It started with a guy who had a sweet tooth and he wanted to make sure that he always had a supply and then he discovered very quickly that his desk became a popular place to stop and mingle,” Toomey said.

Toomey admitted to having a sweet tooth himself, but there’s one particular candy he likes to keep well stocked in his office.

“I will tell you the 3 Musketeers bar has long been my favorite candy,” Toomey said. “But I seldom turn down a candy of any kind.”
