Jerry Springer will officially file for a U.S. Senate run in Ohio, but he hasn’t made up his mind on a campaign just yet.

The talk show host and former Cincinnati mayor will file papers for a U.S. Senate campaign as early as Friday. Mike Ford, a political advisor for Springer, says the filing is necessary to avoid any legal problems that might arise from the airing of a 30-minute infomercial.

Ford says Springer will still make a final decision on whether to run by the end of the month.

The commercial is aimed at increasing Springer’s national fund-raising efforts and will not be shown in Ohio initially. Springer will appear on the program to outline his positions on issues, as well as discuss his background and experience.
