Marine veteran Mike O’Brien launches challenge to Scott Perry in Pennsylvania
- Mike O'Brien, a retired U.S. Marine Corps veteran and TOPGUN F-35 Stealth Fighter Pilot, has announced his campaign for Congress in Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district, challenging incumbent Republican Rep. Scott Perry. O'Brien accuses Perry and his "far-right gang of insurrectionists" of being a threat to democracy and freedoms.
- O'Brien is the third Democratic candidate to run for the congressional seat in 2024, joining Shamaine Daniels and Rick Coplen. He highlights his military background and education in mechanical engineering on his campaign website.
- Some question O'Brien's residency, as he recently registered to vote in the district. Perry, who has served in Congress since 2013, is confident in his re-election campaign, while Democrats view him as too extreme. O'Brien acknowledges the uphill battle but emphasizes his leadership over being a politician.
