DescriptionKathy Dahlkemper served two years as the congresswoman representing the 3rd Congressional District.

Now the Democrat is mulling whether she should try in 2012 to retake the seat she lost to Republican Mike Kelly, of Butler, in the 2010 election. Dahlkemper, of Erie, said she's been talking to people about whether to gear up for another run.

"Is this the best way for me to continue to serve the community that I love so much? I'm trying to make the best decision for me and my (former) constituents,'' she said.

Dahlkemper, 53, said it's difficult to say when she will decide. But she said she couldn't wait too long because of the need to raise campaign funds and get her message out.

She announced in October 2007 when she ran in the 2008 election cycle. "Waiting until fall would put me or anyone else at a great disadvantage,'' she said.

Dahlkemper confirmed that she's talked to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee about a possible run.
