Janelle Stelson

Democratic Party (D)
U.S. Representative (District 10) · District 10, Pennsylvania, United States of America · 2026
PurposeStelson, a former local news anchor, is challenging Perry for the second straight cycle on an affordability, health-care, and congressional-ethics-reform platform.

Economy
On the economy, the campaign's priorities page calls for tax breaks aimed at the middle class rather than billionaires, permanent "no tax on tips or overtime," repealing tariffs it says raise costs, and cutting wasteful spending to address the national deficit; on housing specifically, it calls for stopping corporate home purchases, cutting building red tape, and expanding small-dollar loans.

Health
On health care, the campaign calls for high-quality, affordable care with better urgent- and primary-care access, allowing government negotiation of prescription-drug prices, banning surprise medical billing and ambulance-billing loopholes, removing medical debt from credit reports, and expanding veterans' health benefits.

Agriculture/Food
On agriculture, the campaign prioritizes passing a five-year Farm Bill, lowering farm input costs, breaking up consolidation in chicken processing, strengthening avian-flu disease-prevention support, and protecting farmers' right to repair their own equipment.

Immigration
On immigration, the campaign supports stronger border security using modern technology, deporting violent undocumented immigrants, opposing taxpayer benefits for undocumented immigrants, and requiring due process and visible identification for federal immigration officers.

Education
On education, the campaign prioritizes quality public schools, fair compensation for teachers and staff, addressing childcare and elder-care costs, and expanding paid leave for workers.

Governance
On governance, the campaign calls for a personal 12-year congressional term limit, congressional age limits, a ban on individual stock trading by members of Congress, a lifetime post-service lobbying ban, eliminating first-class flight perks for members, a constitutional amendment reversing Citizens United, and an independent Congressional Ethics Agency.

Governance
The campaign also opposes uncontrolled local data-center construction, unless communities can approve or reject projects themselves, and supports restoring federal abortion protections under Roe v. Wade and IVF access.
