PA-10: Janelle Stelson will face Rep. Scott Perry again after victory in Democratic primary

Former WGAL anchor Janelle Stelson secured a decisive victory in the 10th Congressional District Democratic Primary against progressive Dauphin County Commissioner Justin Douglas Tuesday night. She led by 69-31 with an estimated 71% of the vote in just after 11 p.m., according to the Associated Press’ tally of unofficial results.

Her victory sets up a re-match against incumbent Republican Rep. Scott Perry in November, who she lost to narrowly in 2024. The 10th District includes all of Dauphin County and parts of Cumberland and York Counties.

“I hear every day about the need to lower costs, protect Social Security and Medicare, make healthcare more affordable and fight the corruption in Washington,” Stelson said in a statement Tuesday night. “Our community is ready for change. I am running to give Central Pennsylvanians the voice we deserve and to take on a broken and corrupt Washington.”

Stelson was the preferred candidate of the Democratic Party. She earned the endorsement of key figures like Gov. Josh Shapiro and groups like the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. She also proved one of the best fundraisers of any Pennsylvania congressional candidate.
