Robert Kennedy Jr. has filed the paperwork to run for the U.S. Senate seat in Alabama, but it's most likely not the person you think.

In fact, very little is known about the mysterious candidate who mailed a $3,400 check and his filing papers to the Alabama Democratic Party in Montgomery.

The envelope was received within the party headquarters Wednesday, but Democratic Party Chairwoman Nancy Worley said on

Thursday that she didn't have any information about him.
