Republican Representative Scott Perry successfully secured reelection to his U.S. House position representing Pennsylvania on Thursday. In a tight and costly contest, he faced off against Janelle Stelson, a well-established local television news anchor, within a district in Harrisburg that had previously supported Donald Trump during the 2020 presidential election.

Scott Perry, who has served four terms in Congress, stood out as the sole lawmaker to have his cellphone confiscated by FBI agents. This action was part of an investigation into the intricate network of Trump loyalists who played a significant role in the former president’s attempts to hold on to power following his defeat in the 2020 elections.

The announcement of Perry’s victory was made by election officials at 1:47 p.m. EST, confirming his continued presence in the House of Representatives for another term. His win signals ongoing support within his party and underscores the complexities of political dynamics in his district.
