The six-term congressman and former news anchor will face off in the general election to represent Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District.PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Pennsylvania Congressman Scott Perry's race against Democrat Janelle Stelson got underway in earnest this week, after the latter earned her party's nomination to represent the 10th Congressional District.
A number of conservative Republicans were upset with both the process of the vote, and the content of the bills. 21 Republicans voted against the more than $26 billion package to Israel, and 112 voted against the more than $60 billion package to Ukraine, both of which passed. On the package to Israel, the six-term incumbent Perry says his vote against the package was due to the more than $9 billion earmarked in humanitarian aid for Gaza. The Israeli government has claimed that Palestinian militant group Hamas has been looting and stealing aid intended for Gaza's civilians.
"Scott Perry is so extreme that he voted against every other Republican in Pennsylvania's congressional delegation," Stelson said."They all voted for this bill. He did not." On the aid package to Ukraine, Perry says he was uncomfortable sending money to the country without an imminent victory in sight in its war with Russia.
