JOB: Field Organizer
LOCATION: In district PA-10; Dauphin County, Cumberland County, York County Pennsylvania.
MORE INFO ABOUT CANDIDATE AND RACE
You learn a lot about a place when you tell its stories for decades. For more than 30 years, Central Pennsylvanians have relied on Janelle Stelson to tell the truth, trusted her to shine a light on our problems, and counted on her to get answers and hold the powerful accountable.
After decades in politics, Congressman Scott Perry is part of the problem in a very broken Washington. His focus is helping himself, not the people of Central Pennsylvania. Scott Perry voted to gut Medicaid and slash food assistance, all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. He supports the tariff-taxes that are raising prices in Central Pennsylvania. Perry supports a national abortion ban with no exceptions, touted a plan to cut Social Security benefits and raise Social Security taxes, and opposed the largest expansion of VA benefits in history.
As a non-partisan trusted voice, Janelle Stelson has spent her career listening and addressing the concerns of this district. Janelle will stand up to business as usual in Washington and be the new voice and fresh leadership that we need.
