Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wins reelection to U.S. House in New York's 14th Congressional District
On Tuesday, Democrat Janelle Stelson defeated incumbent Republican Representative Scott Perry in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District, securing 57% of the vote and flipping the seat to Democrats.
This victory reverses the 2024 contest, when Perry narrowly defeated Stelson by about 5,100 votes; the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee targeted the seat to gain House ground.
Campaigns and outside PACs spent $37.6 million, including nearly $21.9 million from PACs, as Stelson campaigned on lowering household costs while criticizing Perry's alignment with President Donald Trump.
Stelson's win marks the first time York County has been represented by a Democrat since 1966, a historic shift for a district encompassing all of Dauphin County and parts of Cumberland and York counties.
Suburban voters increasingly moved toward the Democratic Party, helping Stelson overcome Perry's 13-year hold on the district; the outcome carries implications for the balance of power in the U.S. House.
