WITF-FM

I'm your host, Asia Tabb.

To start off our show, WITF news team is analyzing this week's debate between Republican US representative Scott Perry and Democratic challenger Janelle Stelson.

WITF reporters Hailey O'Brien, Katie Knol, and Jordan Wilkie tell you what you need to know about the candidates trying to represent Pennsylvania's 10th district.

This race is a rematch between Stelson, who lost to Perry in 2024 by 1.3% of the vote, and Perry, who's represented the area since 2012.

But now the national political winds are blowing in Democrats' favor, especially in Pennsylvania.

And so basically, Stelson was able to say, "I want to end the war immediately because of the way it's impacting people in this district." Um, but we still do not have a clear idea of how this is going to be handled if she were to be elected to Congress.

You're listening to a special segment of The Spark.

I'm Jordan Wilkie, democracy reporter for WITF News, and we'll be right back with more analysis of last night's debate from Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District.

That was denied last week.
