WHAT THEY’RE SAYING: Janelle Stelson “Vows Anti-Corruption Push,” Calls Out “Coward” Scott Perry

Central Pennsylvanians are watching and reading wall-to-wall coverage about Janelle Stelson’s pledge to take on corruption in Congress.

Speaking at a union hall in York this week, Janelle was “flanked by dozens of supporters and union members” and “went on the offensive against [Scott] Perry while rolling out her campaign’s anti-corruption agenda.” Janelle said in part: 

“Our congressman, Scott Perry, is part of the problem… He has not held [an in-person town hall] since 2019 because he is a coward… He literally does not listen to us.”

  • Stelson said she is willing to challenge leaders from both parties if elected.
  • “Too many decisions are made behind closed doors,” Stelson said. … “Too many people go to Washington to make it a career, then they never come home. I’m running for Congress because it is time somebody holds their feet to the fire.”
  • Janelle Stelson is sharpening her campaign message around what she calls fighting corruption and ending the era of career politicians, with her focus trained largely on Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Perry.
  • Stelson, flanked by dozens of supporters and union members, went on the offensive against Perry while rolling out her campaign’s anti-corruption agenda at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 229 union hall in York County on Tuesday.
  • “Career politicians like Scott Perry have stopped listening. He shows what he thinks of us, the taxpayers, by refusing to hold an in-person town hall since 2019,” Stelson said. “He has not held [an in-person town hall] since 2019 because he is a coward.”
  • “Our congressman, Scott Perry, is part of the problem. … He initially said he was in favor of term limits, but that’s before he got comfortable, not for himself. He’s now a seven-term congressman… He literally does not listen to us.”
