Allentown mayor expected to run for US Senate

Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski is expected to announce on Friday that he will run to challenge U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey's re-election bid, creating the potential for a contested Democratic Party primary in 2016. The mayor briefly tested his statewide electoral prospects in last year's governor's race, but he never made the ballot and dropped out after reporting disappointing fundraising.
