The Democrat narrowly defeated by Arlen Specter in the 1992 Senate race is still against him despite the party switch.
Lynn Yeakel is scheduled to endorse Sestak Nov. 12 in Philadelphia.
A little-known businesswoman at the time Yeakel challenged Specter after seeing him question Anita Hill during the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. Specter won that race by a slim margin of 49 percent to 46 percent.
I¹ve known Joe for four years and he has the character and integrity to represent our party and our Commonwealth in Washington Yeakel said.
Specter is polling ahead of Sestak in the Democratic primary which is scheduled for April 2010 but October surveys by Franklin and Marshall College and Susquehanna Polling and Research found that Pennsylvanians are not eager to give Specter another six years in office.
