  • PoliticsPA's Louis Jacobson wrote that Perry was the most vulnerable House Republican incumbent on the 2026 ballot: "he has articulated the most conservative views of the four vulnerable Republicans on our list despite representing a district that went to Donald Trump in 2024 by a modest five points ... Republicans paint Perry as a survivor."[1]
  • Janelle Stelson defeated Justin Douglas in the May 19, 2026 Democratic primary; Scott Perry was unopposed in the Republican primary. Isabelle Harman (Independent) did not make the general-election ballot, according to Ballotpedia.[1]

Issue evidence — side by side

Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.
