Former Republican Lawmakers Endorse Democrat for Congress

Summary

Former Republican Lawmakers Endorse Democrat for Congress

In a notable shift, five former Republican lawmakers have publicly endorsed Democrat Janelle Stelson in her campaign against incumbent Republican Rep. Scott Perry in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District. This endorsement underscores a growing trend among some Republicans to break ranks with their party in response to concerns about the political direction and actions of current GOP leadership.

The former representatives—Barbara Comstock, Adam Kinzinger, Denver Riggleman, Dave Trott, and Joe Walsh—criticized Perry’s alleged involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and his lack of bipartisan cooperation. They expressed that Perry’s actions, including his request for a presidential pardon related to January 6th events, demonstrate a disregard for democratic principles. The endorsement reflects a broader sentiment among some Republicans who feel disillusioned with the party’s current trajectory and are willing to support a Democrat who they believe will work across party lines and prioritize the needs of constituents. The race has become increasingly competitive, with recent polls indicating a shift toward a toss-up status, highlighting the potential impact of this bipartisan endorsement on the upcoming election.
