PA-10: A moderate Democrat with a war chest faces a progressive grassroots campaign in Pa.'s 10th District

In Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District, a Democratic primary race is highlighting two factions of the party, as the candidates vie for a chance to take on long-time Republican incumbent Rep. Scott Perry.

By some measures, Perry is among the most vulnerable Republican incumbents in the commonwealth. Cook Political Report ranks the 10th District as an even toss up in 2026, a slight shift to the left since the last election.

But Perry’s also proved himself resilient.

When he was first elected to Congress in 2012, what was then the 4th District was safely conservative. But after court-ordered redistricting in 2018, Perry’s new 10th District became more competitive. Still, he’s held on to his seat.
