Democrat Janelle Stelson wins election to U.S. House in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District
Democrat Janelle Stelson won election Tuesday to the U.S. House of Representatives representing Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District, defeating Republican incumbent Scott Perry.
Democrat Paige Cognetti secured a victory on Tuesday, becoming the first elected official from the U.S. House to represent Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional District. She defeated her Republican counterpart, Rob Bresnahan. Cognetti serves as the mayor of Scranton. During her campaign, she positioned herself as an independent-thinking Democrat and a dedicated advocate for combating corruption within city government.
The Republican incumbent was unable to persuade voters that he warranted a second term in Washington. The Associated Press announced Cognetti as the winner at 10:41 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
