Out Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Sims (D) announced that he’s running for lieutenant governor of the state in a Facebook video.

“After 10 years in the State House, I’ve taken the lessons that my parents taught me and reinforced them in my work as a legislator: to take responsibility, commit to service, be courageous, and push for fairness,” he said in the video.

The video showed images of the liberal firebrand speaking in front of a “LOVE” statue,” putting on a facemask, and a pair of boxing gloves to highlight a few things he’s known for.

“We need adults in the room,” Sims said in the video. “And I want to bring bold visionary leadership based on lived experience and shared values to the Commonwealth.”

We are the antidote to broken politics.”

I'm running!
