Emmy-winning news anchor. Putting the people of Central PA first - lower taxes for the middle class, affordable living and accountability in Washington.
My name is Janelle Stelson, and I’m running to represent PA’s 10th District in Congress. As someone who’s been covering your stories for nearly four decades, I see things as they are. Pennsylvania is ready for a change—and we can beat Scott Perry.
Central Pennsylvanians are sick and tired of DC politicians like Scott Perry who talk out of both sides of their mouths. Perry claims to be a “fiscal conservative,” but voted to explode our national debt by at least $3.3 TRILLION. He’s a fraud. pennlive.com/opinion/2025/0…
The below is from a *Republican* Congressman, about how @RepScottPerry & his Washington pals want to fool you with a phony resolution instead of forcing the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Perry called for transparency but now votes against it. Who got to him?
Congress thinks you’re stupid. The rules committee passed a NON-BINDING Epstein resolution, hoping folks will accept it as real. It forces the release of NOTHING. But that resolution isn’t commingled with the Rescissions package, as I incorrectly described in this deleted post:
.@RepScottPerry claims he wants transparency in the Epstein case, but refuses to follow through. He voted NOT to release the files. Now he’s fleeing Washington for 6 weeks so he won’t have to vote against transparency. WHY? Who got to you @RepScottPerry?!?
Breaking News: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut down the House until September to block a vote on calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. nyti.ms/4nZtblR
How do you get the 200k number from a district with almost 800k constituents? Coincidentally that’s almost exactly the number of votes that Perry got last cycle. Is he limiting based on partisanship? What is the universe? Who decided who gets in and who gets left out?
Since we now have individuals from outside of our district (and even State) flooding the Tele-Town Hall RSVP page and my office lines, and to ensure our Tele-Town Hall is for our constituents ONLY, we will not have a dial-in for this event. We will, however, be dialing OUT to…
.@RepScottPerry hasn’t held an in-person town hall in 6 years. Now he’s even scared of a telephone town hall in which he gets to choose which questions he answers. He’s insisting on choosing which constituents he will talk to. Perry is an out of touch coward who doesn’t care!

.@RepScottPerry can’t convince his colleagues of his plan to cut Social Security benefits & raise Social Security taxes, so he instead supports actions that are making it much harder for deserving Pennsylvania seniors to get the benefits they’ve earned. inquirer.com/politics/penns…
News in PA-10: Gov. @JoshShapiroPA endorses @JanelleStelson. Meanwhile, Scott Perry is voting to gut healthcare, blow up our national deficit, and raise costs on PA families. @Lawrence: “Governor Shapiro is making it very clear to PA voters who is taking their Medicaid away.”
The weakness of @RepScottPerry will be a big issue in 2026. He betrayed his alleged principles to vote for the DC Republican budget that massively increases the deficit. Perry’s blanket tariff taxes have made the American dollar weak too. nytimes.com/2025/06/30/bus…
It’s not just Medicaid. Thousands more in our area could lose their private health insurance because of a vote by @RepScottPerry for the bad Washington budget. inquirer.com/health/pennie-…
Your coffee and your orange juice are about to get more expensive, thanks to @RepScottPerry's crazy support of tariff-taxes. He’s ruining our breakfast! We just can't afford Scott Perry. apnews.com/article/brazil…
I’m honored to receive the endorsement of Governor Josh Shapiro, who is working every day to make life more affordable in Central Pennsylvania. Together, we are going to fire Scott Perry. x.com/abc27News/stat…
Governor Josh Shapiro on Thursday endorsed Janelle Stelson (D) in her second bid to unseat Congressman Scott Perry in Pennsylvania's 10th District. abc27.com/pa10election/g…
Inflation is rising because of the tariff-taxes supported by @RepScottPerry. Perry keeps raising costs when we desperately need to lower them. inquirer.com/news/nation-wo…
The Scott Perry story just keeps getting worse. Great to join @Lawrence to talk about why I’m running to give Central Pennsylvania the representation we deserve in Congress.
In 2026, we have the chance to finally send Scott Perry home and elect a leader who will represent and fight for us. I’m proud to endorse @JanelleStelson for Congress. Janelle, let’s go win and GSD.
Central PA deserves someone who will listen, who will work for real solutions, who will fight for term limits, and who will sit down with anyone who has a good idea about how to make life better for all of us. That’s why I’m proud to support @JanelleStelson!
I am so grateful for the endorsements of a coalition of bipartisan leaders, including PA Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, labor unions, every Democratic State legislator in PA-10 and many more local elected leaders. Check out the full list here: janellestelson.com/endorsements

Yes, we should end tariffs on cocoa imports. But we should also end the tariff-taxes that @RepScottPerry supports on the other products that are raising prices on Pennsylvanians. Perry is such a phony.wgal.com/article/pennsy…
