Janelle Stelson will flip PA-10 blue and help take back the House majority
Today, the DCCC announced that Janelle Stelson has been added to the committee’s highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Stelson, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as she runs for PA-10.
“Janelle Stelson dedicated her career to telling people’s stories. She knows what matters to Central Pennsylvanians is not what out-of-touch extremists like Scott Perry care about. Perry is focused on outlawing IVF, passing a national abortion ban, and overthrowing our democracy. He has always put his dangerous extremism ahead of his constituents. I look forward to Janelle winning this race so that Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional district can once again have real representation,” said DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene.
As an award–winning broadcast journalist, Janelle Stelson has spent her life listening and talking directly to the people of Central Pennsylvania. For nearly four decades, members of her community trusted Janelle to tell the truth, trusted her to shine a light on their problems, and trusted her to get the answers. Whether she was sitting down with small business owners, riding along with local law enforcement, or covering the rising costs of housing and health care, Janelle has told the stories of countless families across the district. Now, with basic rights and democracy under attack, Janelle is joining the fight to restore common-sense leadership and to continue being a voice for Central Pennsylvania, this time in the halls of Congress.
Recent polling in PA-10 shows Janelle Stelson trailing Scott Perry by only 2 points. What’s more, Perry has the least amount of cash-on-hand out of any vulnerable Republican incumbent, making this one of the best opportunities to defeat a member of the House Freedom Caucus. Cook Political called Janelle Perry’s “strongest opponent yet” and has upgraded the competitiveness of PA-10 in Democrats’ favor.
Red to Blue is a highly competitive and battle-tested DCCC program that arms top-tier candidates with organizational and fundraising support to help them continue building winning campaigns. Additionally, through Red to Blue the DCCC provides strategic guidance, staff resources, candidate trainings, and more.
