Republican Rep. Scott Perry staved off a stiff challenge from Democrat Janelle Stelson in a U.S. House race in Pennsylvania to win a seventh term.
On Wednesday afternoon, The Hill/Decision Desk HQ called the race for Perry. With 99% of the vote reporting, Perry leads Stelson by more than 6,000 votes with more than 400,000 votes recorded, WHTM-TV, the ABC affiliate in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, reported.
Perry, 62, was seeking a fourth term from Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District after three terms representing the 4th District. Prior to that, he served in the Pennsylvania State House.
Stelson, 64, is a Republican-turned-Democrat former TV anchor.
