The Cook Political Report is still forecasting a victory for incumbent Rep. Phil English in the race for Pennsylvania’s 3rd District seat in Congress.
But English’s lead over Democratic challenger Kathy Dahlkemper is a bit shakier than initially thought.
Cook rates the district as “Lean Republican”, meaning the race is “leaning” toward English.
It had previously rated the district as “Likely Republican.”
In other words, English is still in the lead, but he is far from a sure thing.
After more than six years working as a journalist in Erie, I'm now the web editor for the Chronicle of Philanthropy in Washington, D.C., and the publisher of GlobalErie.com. I still maintain close ties to Erie - a community that I care about deeply. I hope this Web site can help inspire a better future for Erie.

Please, PLEASE, Erie….I implore you. 14 years of Phil English is enough. I will admit, I have some learning to do about Kathy Dahlkemper, but a change is needed! She can’t be any worse than English.
