A new poll commissioned by the DCCC in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District has Janelle Stelson leading Republican Scott Perry 48% to 47%. After three public polls showed this race in a dead heat, Stelson has begun to pull ahead of the vulnerable incumbent.
Via National Journal:
The race to unseat Rep. Scott Perry is slowly attracting more national attention from both sides. The DCCC has targeted Perry all cycle, citing the shifting political tilt of his district, Perry's involvement in Jan. 6, and his cash-on-hand woes in the early cycle.
Republicans have not, for the most part, seen the race as competitive. But the NRCC released its first press release slamming former TV anchor Janelle Stelson, one of Democrats' best recruits.
It's a small nod, but it's an admission Beltway Republicans are taking the race seriously […]
Perry's favorability continues to be under water because of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, roll back women's reproductive freedoms, and cut Social Security and Medicare. Meanwhile, Janelle enjoys 68% name ID and has almost double Perry's anemic cash on hand.
DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
"Scott Perry has spent the last 12 years focused on all the wrong issues. He is more concerned with banning abortion nationwide than lowering costs for seniors and families in Central Pennsylvania. Perry's extreme agenda and out-of-touch priorities have finally caught up with him and it will cost him his seat this November."
