Philly state lawmaker considering running for U.S. Senate

Associated Press  

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Sharif Street, a Democratic state senator from Philadelphia and the vice chair of the state Democratic Party, said he is considering running for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat in next year’s election. He has spent the past couple years campaigning around Pennsylvania for Democratic candidates as the state party’s No. “We had a 67-county strategy and we needed that in order to elect Joe Biden and we needed that to elect Bob Casey and we needed that to elect Tom Wolf,” Street said. “And I think we’re going to bring a 67-county strategy in 2022.” The race is wide open for both parties in what could become the nation’s most competitive Senate contest next year after Republican Sen. Pat Toomey announced in October that he would not run for a third term.
