Arlen Specter is a United States Senator from Pennsylvania. He is a member of the Republican Party.

Specter attended Yale Law School, and soon after graduation, Specter became a prominent lawyer in Philadelphia and active in politics, beginning his political life as a Democrat. At the recommendation of Rep. Gerald R. Ford, he worked for the Warren Commission investigating the assassination of John F. Kennedy. As an assistant counsel for the commission, he authored the controversial “single bullet theory” to attempt to explain the commission’s finding that a lone assassin killed Kennedy.

In 1980, Specter became the Republican candidate for Senate when Republican incumbent Richard Schweiker announced his retirement. Specter won the election and was reelected in 1986, 1992, 1998 and 2004.
