The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) sent a message that it will be holding Rep. Scott Perry’s (R-10) feet to the fire with the release of a new digital video.
The DCCC hopes to remind voters “of Scott Perry’s dangerous extremism and the chaos he creates in Congress.” The video reminds viewers that, at the request of former President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson appointed Perry to the House Intel Committee despite the fact that Perry has been linked to the effort to overturn the 2020 election.
The release of the video coincides with the visit of Trump in Pennsylvania’s capital city of Harrisburg on Wednesday.
“Scott Perry has forgotten Pennsylvania voters to pursue a chaotic, extreme, and dysfunctional agenda in Congress,” said DCCC spokesperson Aidan Johnson. “Perry’s constituents elected him to fight for their best interests, but now he’s just another creature of the swamp.”
Perry is being challenged by former television news journalist Janelle Stelson, who outraised Perry by a 2-to-1 count in the second quarter.

The story has been updated to reflect that Perry has never been actively under investigation by the FBI.
