In a major shift, the Cook Political Report moved Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District race from Lean Republican to Toss-Up on Friday morning.

The CPR analysis made note of the fundraising prowess of Democratic challenger Janelle Stelson who brought in a massive total of $2.85 million, opposed to just $900,000 for Republican incumbent Scott Perry.

“It’s become increasingly clear that the fundraising differential is taking a serious toll on the congressman,” wrote analyst Erin Covey. “Even as (former President Donald) Trump is on pace to win Pennsylvania’s 10th District again — he carried it by four points in 2020 — public and private polling show Perry underperforming Trump. The congressional race now looks neck-and-neck — and while the political environment should still favor Perry, his unique vulnerabilities, coupled with Democrats’ spending advantage, moves this race from Lean Republican to Toss Up.”

Stelson, a former broadcast journalist with WGAL-TV which is located in the PA-10 market, has spent $3.8 million to date on TV, digital and radio ads, according to the story. Many of those ads have been direct to camera, utilizing her strength as a former news anchor to directly talk to voters.

Perry has spent a little under $1 million over the airwaves, using the points that he was not sent to Congress to “make friends.” The six-term congressman has repeatedly pointed out that his opponent does not live in the district – Stelson resides in neighboring Lancaster County – and has brought out Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) to support his struggling campaign.

Stelson has shied away from emphasizing Perry’s actions in the aftermath of the 2020 election and has focused more on his record, including his co-sponsorship of the Life at Conception Act, support for social security cuts, and votes against the bipartisan bill providing protective gear for firefighters.

A recent Susquehanna Polling & Research survey showed Stelson running nine points ahead of Perry in the district, 48-39%. According to CPR, “Republicans are still optimistic Perry will make it across the line, but Stelson’s spending onslaught has propelled this race into the Toss Up column.”
