Scott Perry's House Race Deemed a Toss-Up by Cook Political Report
The shift in rating highlights vulnerabilities and a fundraising gap as Perry faces a strong challenge from Democrat Janelle Stelson.
- The Cook Political Report has changed the rating of Scott Perry's race in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District from 'lean Republican' to 'toss-up.'
- Democratic challenger Janelle Stelson has outpaced Perry in fundraising, raising $2.85 million compared to his $900,000 in the last quarter.
- Stelson, a former local news anchor, has leveraged her name recognition and campaign focus on Perry's controversies, including his involvement in election denial efforts.
- Polling shows Perry trailing Stelson, with a recent survey indicating Stelson leads 48% to 39%, despite the district's Republican lean.
- The race has attracted significant attention and resources from both parties, with the Democratic Party adding it to their 'Red to Blue' list and Republican super PACs increasing their support for Perry.
