PA-10: Janelle Stelson's fundraising prowess has shifted her odds against Scott Perry

The race between U.S. Rep. Scott Perry and his Democratic challenger Janelle Stelson is now a toss-up, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report said Friday.

Cook Political Report credited the new toss-up rating to Stelson’s “spending onslaught,” raising $2.85 million in the most recent fundraising quarter compared to Perry’s $900,000.

Stelson won a crowded Democratic primary to challenge Perry, the hard-right Republican incumbent, in the 10th Congressional District. Until joining the race roughly a year ago, Stelson worked as a longtime local news anchor in the Central Pennsylvania district, which includes Dauphin County and parts of Cumberland and York Counties.

Her familiarity with voters has helped make the race competitive, as has Perry’s string of controversies.
