Fierce Battle Looms Between Stelson and Perry in Pennsylvania Congressional Race

Former television news anchor Janelle Stelson secured the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Congressman Scott Perry in Pennsylvania’s upcoming general election. Stelson’s campaign emphasizes a focus on problem-solving and accuses Perry of prioritizing extremist views over constituent needs. Perry, a seven-term incumbent, highlights a choice between opposing President Biden’s policies and supporting fiscal responsibility.

Stelson’s campaign reports over $165,000 cash on hand, while Perry’s campaign boasts over $2 million in donations. Perry’s connection to attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the January 6 insurrection has drawn scrutiny. The race is set to culminate on November 5 in a district spanning Dauphin, Cumberland, and York Counties.
