Santorum is a Republican and is chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, the number-three job in the party leadership of the Senate.
Santorum was born in Winchester, Virginia, and raised in Butler County, Pennsylvania, the son of Aldo Santorum (born 1923) and Catherine D. Santorum (born 1918).

 CQPolitics.com - PA Senate: How Rick Santorum Became the Underdog
Santorum, in his 11 full years in the Senate, sided with most other Republicans 94 percent of the time on Senate floor votes that divided the parties — a “party unity” score 30 points higher than Specter’s average over the same span.
Santorum is expected to dominate the conservative and reliably Republican center of the state and to do well in the Pittsburgh area, where he’s from — though some Democrats think that Casey, a relatively rare anti-abortion Democrat running for the Senate, will have some appeal in that culturally conservative region.
While Santorum is again exhibiting the talent for fundraising he has shown throughout his career, he will not enjoy the kind of overwhelming advantage he did last time out.
