The DCCC released two new TV ads in the race for PA-10, “Origin Story” and “Chuck,” contrasting Janelle Stelson’s plan to lower taxes for Central Pennsylvanians with Congressman Scott Perry’s policies that are hurting his constituents.
In “Origin Story,” Janelle talks about being raised by a state trooper and a shipyard worker, and backs tax cuts for working people instead of billionaires. In “Chuck,” a Carlisle, PA father shares how Perry refused to meet with him and his son before his cruel vote to gut Medicaid.
The ads – the 5th and 6th from the DCCC and the Janelle Stelson campaign – are airing in the Harrisburg media market beginning today and are part of the committee’s coordinated spending in key battleground districts.
