HARRISBURG — The race for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania looks like it's getting more colorful.

John Fetterman, the 6-foot-8, bald and tattooed mayor of a tiny borough outside Pittsburgh, said Friday he'll run for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in 2016.

The 46-year-old Harvard-educated mayor of Braddock says he'll make the official announcement Monday in Pittsburgh.

Fetterman is active in Democratic politics and is known for his efforts to reinvigorate the steel town of about 2,000 residents.

Also running for the Democratic nomination is former congressman and Navy vice admiral Joe Sestak and Katie McGinty, who has held high-level posts in state and federal government.

The Republican incumbent, Pat Toomey, is running for a second six-year term.
