## Summary

Democrat Janelle Stelson defeated Republican incumbent Scott Perry to win Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District in Tuesday’s US House election. The result removes Perry, a former leader of the House Freedom Caucus, after he sought an eighth term.

A former local television anchor, Stelson had challenged Perry two years earlier and lost. In this campaign, she portrayed him as an extremist on abortion rights and criticised his support for President Donald Trump’s tax-cut legislation; the Associated Press called the race for Stelson at 10.41pm EST.
