Scott Perry

Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district

PA-10 Midterms Intelligence

Scott Perry sits on one of the House’s most electorally dangerous perches: a Harrisburg-York seat with an R+1 lean, 99% competitiveness, and a D trend of +6. After 13 years, he remains a high-profile conservative with national-security credibility from Foreign Affairs and Intelligence, but the district is less ideologically fixed than his brand suggests. This is a middle-aged, homeowner-heavy constituency anchored by state-government, healthcare/education, and manufacturing voters—stable enough to reward familiarity, but elastic enough to punish overreach.

For advocates, this is a persuasion district masquerading as a base district. The best pressure points are cost, competence, and local economic stewardship: transportation funding, energy reliability, veterans’ services, and supply-chain/manufacturing arguments travel better than ideological appeals. With median income at $81,964 and healthcare/education employing 24.2%, messages should target suburban professionals and institutional stakeholders, not just activists. Strategically, PA-10 matters because campaigns here can force Perry to choose between national confrontation and district pragmatism.

Representative Scott Perry represents Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district, serving 779,640 constituents. The district has an estimated median household income of $81,964 and an unemployment rate of 4.3%.
