Scott Perry for Congress

How farmers are turning a spring freeze into fall gold.

An ethics complaint is filed against Congressman Scott Perry.

Plus, WITF music is in the spotlight in today's Bright Spot.

Welcome to the Morning Agenda.

That does support us, especially through the winter when we're in the slower months and we don't have the income from pick-your-own.

Penn State estimated spring losses of 70 to 90 percent across specialty crops, with damages totaling up to $200 million statewide.

Switching gears to election news, Central PA Congressman Scott Perry recorded a video in what looks to be his official congressional office, then posted it to his campaign page twice.

My colleague Jordan Wilkie reports a liberal group has filed a complaint claiming Perry violated congressional ethics rules.

We have four congressional districts we're working to hold.

Brian Fitzpatrick in the 1st congressional district, Ryan McKenzie in the 7th congressional district, Rob Resnahan in the 8th congressional district, and Scott Perry in the 10th congressional district.

And in addition, I am asking people to vote early.

It snowed in Nevada on election day in 2022.

In three, two...

In the Pennsylvania 10th, the Republican incumbent is Scott Perry, a 2020 election denier and inveterate wearer of the tinfoil hat, whose tawdry attack ads against his Democratic opponent, Janelle Stelzen, another former news anchor we're starting to wonder if we're in with a chance, are prompting apologies from the television stations showing them.

And you may be wondering why TV stations allow ads like this to run at all.

The short answer, we have no choice.

And the seats there are the first district in Bucks County, incumbent Republican Brian Fitzpatrick, who's been there for a while.

The 10th district here in South Central PA, where we are, Lohman, longtime incumbent Republican Scott Perry, who is locked in what I refer to as the zombie rematch with his Democratic challenger from two years ago, former TV anchor Janelle Stelzen.

And then the other two big races are the 7th District in Lehigh Valley and the 8th District up in Northeast PA, which we refer to as NEPA.

Those two fellows, Ryan McKenzie and Rob Bresnahan, respectively, won surprise upsets two years ago.

And then up in the 8th District in NEPA, the Democrats got a good nominee, the mayor of Scranton, Paige Cognetti.

And the incumbent, Rob Bresnahan, ran into some issues with his stock trading activities.

So you've got two Republican incumbents, Brian Fitzpatrick in the first and Scott Perry in the 10th, under heavy assault by Democrats, and then those two freshmen, like I said, up there in the Lehigh Valley in northeast PA.

And the reason they're under pressure is the Republicans won them in some surprising fashion.

October 25th.

Stelzen is facing Republican Congressman Scott Perry in the South Central Pennsylvania District.

That race is considered pretty tight.

I know Perry beat Stelzin two years ago by a whisker, but now there's this ad out that claims that she exposed herself to children.

This is a new one, though, claiming a public nudity allegation against Janelle Stelzen.

Again, I don't know.

That might be one of those that does more harm than good for a candidate, Scott Perry.

Perry apparently did not, again, whether he did or didn't, it's not really attached to Perry because it's paid for by this pack, the Donald Trump Align MAGA Inc. Super Pack.

And I think like a really airtight trading plan someone who's you know not going to be buying their kids Christmas presents or we don't want to be negative.

uh someone who's driving a lamborghini because they're a good prediction market trader is gonna have their downs and distances scripted out they're gonna have like what's happening with paige cognetti and pennsylvania eight um what's happening with scott perry and pennsylvania two or five how is the vote turning out in South Carolina where suddenly the polls say Republicans should be concerned? Oh, Florida, that's an important state.

Usually they count early.

So I'll have more of my money in Florida so when those polls close, I can move them.

The 1st, the 7th, the 8th and the 10th.

Now, those contests include Brian Fitzpatrick against Bob Harvey, Ryan McKenzie against Bob Brooks, Rob Bresnahan against Paige Cognetti and Scott Perry against Janelle Stelzen.

Why should listeners outside of those districts care? Well, I'll tell you why.

Because the majority helps determine which proposals get hearings, which bills reach the floor and how aggressively Congress oversees the administration.

Mike Kelly in Butler, Pennsylvania yesterday.

Scott Perry down near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania this morning with about 50 pastors.

And just now we're in Allentown, Pennsylvania with Ryan McKenzie.

So we've had congressmen come out wanting to talk to our pastors.
