Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper (D-3) this week took her considerable financial advantage to the airwaves, launching a 60-second TV ad as her first reelection bid enters the homestretch.

Dahlkemper’s campaign said the ad started airing Monday in the Erie media market, but did not specify whether it was running on cable, broadcast or both. Erie is Dahlkemper’s home base, and the northwest Pennsylvania district is one of the cheaper House seats in which to advertise. Dahlkemper, considered at least on paper to be one of the most vulnerable Democrats in Congress, presumably has the resources to stay on TV through Election Day.
