Democratic candidate and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman will face TV celebrity Mehmet Oz in the Senate race to replace Sen. Pat Toomey, a Republican who has held the seat since 2011, while Attorney General Josh Shapiro is up against State Sen. Doug Mastriano to succeed Gov. Tom Wolf, who exits office early next year after having served two terms.
