Overview
- Janelle Stelson secured the Democratic nomination in Pennsylvania's 10th District to face Rep. Scott Perry in November.
- She ran with backing from Gov. Josh Shapiro and the House Democrats’ campaign arm, signaling strong party support.
- Early 2026 filings showed she raised nearly $1.5 million in the first quarter and reported more than $3 million in cash on hand.
- Progressive challenger Justin Douglas, a Dauphin County commissioner who flipped a Republican seat in 2023, mounted a low-dollar, volunteer-driven bid.
- Perry edged Stelson 50.5% to 49.3% in 2024, and the Cook Political Report now estimates the seat at roughly three points more Republican than the nation, pointing to a closer contest.
