3rd District Congressman Russ Carnahan briefly mulled over a run in this district, though the district was more Republican than his previous district, and he did not live in the district.[ 24] [ 25] Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had preferred that Carnahan run in the district, and considered him a member of the Frontline program for vulnerable members.[ 26]
Whitfield requested a recount, as the race was separated by less than 1%. By September 13, 2012, the recount was completed and Koenen was declared the winner.
