PA-10 Janelle Stelson announces she will seek a rematch with Scott Perry in 2026!

https://www.ydr.com/story/news/2025/07/14/stelson-announces-she-will-seek-rematch-with-scott-perry-in-2026/85190412007/

Former WGAL News anchor Janelle Stelson has announced that she will seek the Democratic nomination for the 10th Congressional District and a rematch with Republican U.S. Rep, Scott Perry in the 2026 midterm election.

Stelson, a former Republican who switched parties prior to the 2024 election, narrowly lost to the seven-term Republican in the 2024 election, a race that was among the tightest in Perry's tenure in Congress. Shortly after the 2024 election, Stelson had said she was pondering running against Perry in the midterms.

Her campaign intends to focus on lowering the cost of living, protecting Medicare, Social Security and a woman's right to choose and advocating for immigration reform to secure our borders.

In a statement, Stelson was quoted as saying, "It is time we had a Representative in Congress who actually listens to us and fights for us. Scott Perry has spent more than a decade in DC taking votes that hurt us instead of delivering results – and he just sold us out again by casting the deciding vote for the largest Medicaid cuts in history, all to fund more tax cuts for billionaires. People around here are sick and tired of career politicians like Scott Perry betraying them at every turn"

PA-10 is one of the most important House races in '26 - Scott Perry is a key MAGA deputy for Trump in the House. Part of the January 6th team. Time for PA's state capital - Harrisburg - to throw him out.

Janelle Stelson almost defeated Perry in '24 - it is great news that she's back to finish the job!
