Stelson emerged from a crowded field to earn the right to run for the office, and face Republican Scott Perry in Pennsylvania's General Election.
Editor's note: The above video is from April 23, when Stelson was voted the Democratic nominee for the 10th Congressional District.
Rep. Perry was one of the votes against both aid packages. The bills were put forward by Speaker Mike Johnson in a way which combined the aid bills for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan into a single measure to send to the Senate, a tactic which Perry opposed. Stelson, a former WGAL News anchor, says Perry's vote went against every other Republican in the Pennsylvania delegation.
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. Recent decisions by the Arizona Supreme Court, which reinstated a pre-Civil War era total abortion ban, along with the Alabama Supreme Court's decision to ban in vitro fertilization, has sparked debate over the lengths of laws protecting unborn fetuses as well as the role of the federal government on regulating abortion.
Stelson, a former WGAL News anchor, says that Perry has attempted to ban abortion nationwide and put IVF at risk through his co-sponsorship of the “Congressman Perry has made clear - time and again - that he supports access to IVF treatments because it provides the opportunity for the blessing of children to loving families who have difficulty conceiving,” said a campaign spokesperson in a statement. “Ms. Stelson’s attempt to divert the conversation for her political gain with her misleading, , and desperate political attacks on an issue so personal to so many south-central Pennsylvania families is just plain sad.
The bill included provisions such as ending the policy of “catch and release” for migrants, hiring more border patrol officers and giving the Department of Homeland Security the power to decide whether to close the border when the number of law enforcement encounters average 4,000 over one week, with the border automatically closing at 5,000.
