IN: Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa.

Dent succeeded Pat Toomey in the House in 2004 after Toomey decided to run for the Senate and has racked up a far more centrist voting record. Dent produced more earmarks for local projects and supported stem-cell research. Although his district has favored Democrats, he managed to defeat challenger John Callahan.
