"Former Steelers star Lynn Swann has taken the first step toward running for governor of Pennsylvania.
The Hall of Fame wide receiver filed papers Wednesday forming a campaign committee for governor, which allows him to begin raising money for a campaign.
Mr. Swann, a Republican, has worked as a broadcaster since his retirement as a wide receiver.
'I will spend time introducing myself to communities across the commonwealth,' he said in a statement. 'As I consider my personal decision regarding the upcoming gubernatorial race, we will also explore the potential political and financial support for my candidacy.'
