Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman filed paperwork today to run for the U.S. Senate in 2022. Fetterman, a Democrat, submitted a statement of candidacy to the Federal Election Commission, nearly a month after he said he was exploring a run.
The lieutenant governor hopes to fill the seat that will be vacated by Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, who announced last fall that he will not seek reelection. Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate seat could be one of the nation’s most hotly contested in 2022 and a chance for Democrats to pick up a seat.
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman has officially filed to run for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat in 2022.
