Newly sworn-in Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. John Fetterman on Friday announced over a dozen staff hires, including a communications director and senior advisers. Many of his selections worked on his Senate campaign last year and others have experience working for other U.S. senators.

“I’m proud of the talented staff we’re assembling throughout Pennsylvania and in Washington,” Mr. Fetterman said in a news release. “This team is already hitting the ground running to work for the people of Pennsylvania.”

The new hires follow the previously announced hires of Adam Jentleson as chief of staff, Joe Pierce as state director and Tré Easton as legislative director.
