In the battle for House control, many candidates in competitive districts have tried to position themselves as moderates, appealing to the middle ground. However, Rep. Scott Perry, a Pennsylvania Republican and former chair of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus, is taking a different approach.
Perry remains unapologetic about his approach, saying he will continue to act boldly and not conform to Washington norms. He faces a challenge from Democrat Janelle Stelson, a popular former TV anchor in his rapidly growing district, which includes Harrisburg and surrounding areas. Now, President Trump has openly endorsed him in a statement posted to Truth Social.
