The person behind the name
Scott Perry’s public career joins long National Guard service, a family contracting business, and seven terms in Congress, the recent ones in a closely contested district.
Perry is the Republican U.S. representative for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District, which his official biography describes as Dauphin County and parts of Cumberland and York counties. He was first elected to Congress in 2012 from what was then the 4th District and has run in the 10th since court-ordered redistricting in 2018. Capital-Star reported on May 15, 2026 that he was running unopposed in the May 19 Republican primary. York County’s general-election candidate listing names him as the Republican candidate for the seat, opposite Democrat Janelle Stelson. [1][2][4][7]
Education and professional preparation
His official biography says he graduated in 1980 from Northern High School and the Cumberland-Perry Vo-Tech School, and in 1991 from Pennsylvania State University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. It says he later earned a master’s degree in strategic studies from the U.S. Army War College. A 2015 Defense Department release on his promotion lists the same War College degree. [4][5]
A contracting business and a Guard career
The biography says Perry began working at 13 as a fruit picker at a farm in Mechanicsburg, and that in 1993 he and his mother started a mechanical contracting firm in their garage. It describes the Dillsburg-based business as providing contract construction and maintenance services to municipal and investor-owned utilities from North Carolina to New York. These are his office’s descriptions; this profile did not locate independent business records. [4]
He enlisted in the Army in 1980 and was commissioned a second lieutenant in field artillery before transferring to Army aviation. A Defense Department release says he commanded the 2-104th General Support Aviation Battalion when it deployed to Iraq in 2009–10, flew 44 combat missions, and was promoted to brigadier general on November 15, 2015 at Fort Indiantown Gap. His official biography says he retired on March 1, 2019, after nearly 40 years of service. [4][5]
From Harrisburg to Washington
Perry served three terms in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, which his official biography dates 2006–2012. His campaign dates his service in Congress from 2013. The Clerk of the House lists him on the Foreign Affairs, Oversight and Government Reform, and Transportation and Infrastructure committees and on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. His biography describes him as an early member and former chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. [3][4][8]
A note on district numbers. Perry was elected in 2012 from Pennsylvania’s 4th Congressional District and has run in the redrawn 10th District since 2018. Records from his earlier terms, including the 2017 law he sponsored and the 2015 Defense Department release, identify him as the member for the 4th District. They describe the same officeholder. [5][7][9]
Life & public service
From enlistment to a seventh term in Congress, the documented milestones show how his military, business and legislative careers overlapped.
A family contracting firm
Started a mechanical contracting firm with his mother, based in Dillsburg, according to his official biography. He had graduated from Pennsylvania State University two years earlier. [4]
Pennsylvania House of Representatives
Served three terms in the state House. His official biography gives the dates as 2006–2012. [4]
DHS SAVE Act signed
His bill on management of the Department of Homeland Security vehicle fleet became Public Law 115-38 on June 6, 2017. [9]
Accomplishments, in the record
Legislation, roll-call votes and official documents establish the following work. Outcomes are described at the level supported by those records, with shared credit where other officials were principal authors.
Guard service ending at brigadier general
The Defense Department’s release on his November 15, 2015 promotion records basic training at Fort Dix in 1980, a commission in field artillery and a transfer to Army aviation. It says his 29 years as a pilot began with flight school in 1986, and that he was then assistant division commander for support of the 28th Infantry Division in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. [5]
The same release says he commanded the 2-104th General Support Aviation Battalion in Iraq in 2009–10, flew 44 combat missions and was promoted to colonel in 2011. His official biography says he retired on March 1, 2019. These are service and official accounts; this profile did not obtain his personnel file. [4][5]
A fleet-management law for DHS
Perry sponsored H.R. 366, the DHS Stop Asset and Vehicle Excess Act, or DHS SAVE Act, introduced on January 6, 2017 with two cosponsors. The Congressional Research Service summary says it made the Department of Homeland Security’s under secretary for management responsible for overseeing vehicle fleets throughout the department. [9]
The House passed it by voice vote on January 31, 2017. The Senate passed it with amendments by unanimous consent on May 2, the House agreed without objection on May 23, and the president signed it on June 6, 2017 as Public Law 115-38. The record establishes enactment; it does not measure savings. [9]
Freedom Caucus chair; an advocacy scorecard
Axios reported on November 16, 2021 that the House Freedom Caucus had elected Perry chair and that he had been a member since the group was founded in 2015. Andy Biggs, the outgoing chair, was to remain in the role until January 1. [12]
His official biography calls him “an early Member and former Chairman” of the caucus. The sources reviewed do not give the date his chairmanship ended. [4]
Heritage Action’s scorecard gives Perry a lifetime score of 91% and a session score of 96%. The figures are an advocacy organization’s rating of votes it selected, not an official measure of legislative output. [19]
Recorded votes on major spending bills
On November 5, 2021, Perry voted against the motion to concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which the Clerk’s roll-call page lists under its House title, the INVEST in America Act. The motion passed 228–206, with 13 Republicans in favor and 200 opposed, and the bill became Public Law 117-58. [20][21]
On July 3, 2025, he voted for the motion to concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed 218–214. [22]
On February 3, 2026, the House cleared a $1.2 trillion full-year appropriations package 217–214. States Newsroom reported that Perry joined Pennsylvania’s seven House Democrats in voting against it. The report does not give his reason. [23]
House passage of the USE IT Act
Perry introduced H.R. 6276, the Utilizing Space Efficiently and Improving Technologies Act of 2023, on November 7, 2023. The Congressional Research Service summary of the introduced bill says federal agencies must work with the General Services Administration to measure occupancy in public buildings, and that the Office of Management and Budget and GSA must ensure building utilization averages at least 60%. [16]
The House passed the bill 217–203 on March 12, 2024, with 211 Republicans and six Democrats in favor. It was referred to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee two days later. The bill-status file shows no further action on H.R. 6276 itself. [16][24]
Falun Gong Protection Act passes the House
Perry sponsored the Falun Gong Protection Act in two Congresses. H.R. 4132, introduced on June 14, 2023, was ordered reported in committee, as amended, by a vote of 33–0 on June 21, 2023. The House passed it by voice vote on June 25, 2024. It was referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on July 8, 2024, the last action in the bill-status file. [17]
He reintroduced it as H.R. 1540 on February 24, 2025, with nine original cosponsors; the bill-status file lists 12 cosponsors in all. The House passed it by voice vote on May 5, 2025, and the Senate referred it to committee the next day. The Congressional Research Service summary says the bill requires the president to impose visa- and property-blocking sanctions on foreign persons who knowingly engaged in or facilitated involuntary organ harvesting in China. The bill-status file shows no later action. [25]
Four committee assignments
The Clerk of the House lists Perry, sworn in on January 3, 2025 for the 119th Congress, on four panels: Foreign Affairs; Oversight and Government Reform; Transportation and Infrastructure; and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. [8]
His Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittees are Aviation and Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management. His official biography lists him as chairman of the latter. Committee seats establish jurisdiction, not outcomes. [4][8]
Recent bills and office releases
His office’s press releases announce bills he introduced in the 119th Congress, among them the Taiwan PLUS Act (release dated May 21, 2025), the Republic of Somaliland Independence Act (June 12, 2025), the Freedom from Union Violence Act (August 26, 2025) and the Divesting from Communist China’s Military Act (January 14, 2026). Introduction is a first step; the releases do not show passage by either chamber. [26]
A release dated July 22, 2026 says he “voted to stop congressional insider trading of stocks” that day and calls him an original cosponsor of the Stop Insider Trading Act, which it says bans members of Congress and their immediate families from purchasing securities issued by publicly traded companies. The release gives no bill number or tally. A release dated August 7, 2026 says he joined Vice President JD Vance at a White House roundtable of the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. [27][28]
Family & community
Perry’s official biography says he and his wife, Christy, have two children and live in northern York County. His campaign’s issues page refers to him as the father of two daughters. The Clerk of the House lists Dillsburg as his hometown. [4][8][29]
The biography describes him as the grandson of Colombian immigrants and the son of a single mother, raised in a home that for several years had no electricity or plumbing. [4]
It lists memberships in Dillsburg American Legion Post 26, Dillsburg VFW Post 6771 and Lions Club International. The sources reviewed do not state a religious affiliation, and this profile asserts none. [4]
His mission for Pennsylvania
A balanced budget amendment, lower taxes and less regulation, secure borders, and a promise kept to seniors on Medicare and Social Security.
The following summarizes the agenda on Scott Perry’s official campaign website. These are stated positions and proposals, not completed accomplishments. [3][29]
01Taxes, spending & regulation
A balanced budget amendment, less government regulation, a lower national debt, and lower taxes on families and small businesses. [29]
02Immigration & border security
The site says he supports “a strong, legal immigration system”: securing the borders, deporting violent criminals, drug dealers and terrorists, banning sanctuary cities, and giving Border Patrol agents the resources to do their jobs. [29]
03Energy
A “blended energy portfolio” that includes the development of clean-energy technologies and the use of “our vast energy resources,” with the stated aims of reducing dependence on foreign energy and making energy more affordable. [29]
04Medicare, Social Security & health care
The site says the promise to seniors must be kept “by preserving and protecting Medicare and Social Security.” On health care it lists coverage of pre-existing conditions, lower prescription-drug costs, expanded health savings accounts and purchases across state lines. [29]
05Veterans
A more accountable Veterans Administration, more health-care options for veterans and their families, greater education benefits, and treatment for veterans with PTSD. [29]
06Abortion
The site says he “believes firmly in the sanctity of Life” and makes exceptions for rape, incest and danger to the life of the mother. It says he opposes late-term abortion and taxpayer funding of abortion, supports parental consent for minors, and supports defunding Planned Parenthood. [29]
07Second Amendment
The site describes him as an advocate of the Second Amendment who will “remain vigilant against any effort to limit those freedoms.” [29]
08Title IX and women’s sports
The site says he opposes “any attempt to allow males to compete against females in women’s sports.” [29]
How to assess a proposal. A campaign plan states an intention. Enactment, implementation costs, replacement revenue, and measured results are separate questions. These priorities should be read alongside the documented record above.
The fuller record
A useful profile includes policy tradeoffs, the limits of a claim, and responses to material criticism.
The 2020 election and the January 6 inquiry
On January 7, 2021, Perry voted to sustain an objection to counting Pennsylvania’s electoral votes. GovTrack’s entry says the objection was raised by Perry and Senator Hawley; the House rejected it 138–282. Axios reported in November 2021 that an interim Senate report had named him as “allegedly being among the allies of former President Trump who took part in a campaign to pressure the Justice Department into overturning the 2020 presidential election results.” In May 2022 the House January 6 committee subpoenaed him, and CBS News reported that investigators believed he played an “important role” in efforts to install Jeffrey Clark as acting attorney general. Perry said the demands were “all about distracting America from their abysmal record of running America into the ground.” CBS News reported on June 10, 2022 that the committee’s vice chair, Liz Cheney, said at a hearing that Perry “contacted the White House in the weeks after Jan. 6 to seek a presidential pardon.” Perry answered on Twitter that the notion was “an absolute, shameless, and soulless lie.” On December 19, 2022, abc27 reported that the committee recommended a House Ethics Committee inquiry into Perry and three other Republicans who had not complied with its subpoenas; his spokesman, Jay Ostrich, described the step as “more games from a petulant and soon-to-be defunct kangaroo court”. The sources reviewed do not show any action by the Ethics Committee. These are the statements of congressional panels, not the findings of a court. [10][11][12][13][36][37]
The seizure of his cell phone
A D.C. Circuit opinion records that in August 2022 a magistrate judge authorized the FBI to seize Perry’s phone and copy its contents. Perry argued that the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause shielded many of the messages. In an opinion decided September 5, 2023, the appeals court vacated the lower-court judgment in part and sent the case back for a fact-specific review. The Associated Press reported in December 2023 that a judge then ordered 1,659 records disclosed and let him withhold 396, that Perry “has not been charged with a crime,” and that his lawyer said officials had never described him as a target. The sources reviewed do not describe any later development. [14][15]
A reversed vote on same-sex marriage
Perry voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, H.R. 8404, when the House passed it 267–157 on July 19, 2022. He voted against the Senate-amended version that passed 258–169 on December 8. The Hill reported that he indicated his first vote was a mistake made with little time to review the bill, and quoted him: “I just made the wrong choice.” [30][31][32]
A narrow 2024 margin, a toss-up rating
City & State Pennsylvania reported that Perry defeated Stelson in 2024 by 50.6% to 49.4%, a margin of 5,133 votes, and that the Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball rated the 2026 race a toss-up while Inside Elections rated it “tilt Republican.” It quoted Perry’s reaction to the rematch: “Game on.” Capital-Star reported that Stelson raised $4.7 million during the primary to Perry’s $4.4 million. His FEC summary for January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 shows $5,194,925.35 in receipts and $2,845,975.82 in cash on hand. Ratings and totals are snapshots, not results. [2][18][33]
Criticism from his Democratic opponent
Capital-Star reported on May 15, 2026 that Stelson hoped to criticize Perry for his support of tariffs, “cutting Medicaid subsidies” and military action in Iran, and for past positions including a proposed national abortion ban and what the outlet called his role in supporting President Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Perry was not interviewed for that story because he was unopposed in his primary. His campaign’s issues page says he would preserve and protect Medicare and Social Security and lists exceptions to his abortion position. This profile records the criticisms as his opponent’s characterizations, not as findings. [7][29]
Amendments to end Peace Corps funding
Capital-Star reported on June 23, 2026 that Perry proposed amendments to the House appropriations bill for national security, the State Department and related programs that would end fiscal 2027 funding for the Peace Corps, for which the bill allocates $410.5 million, and for other foreign-aid programs, including $205.2 million for the Democracy Fund. The Rules Committee voted to allow the amendments to come before the House. Carla Brown, president of the National Peace Corps Association, told the outlet that “it is saddening and disappointing to see the value of volunteer service questioned.” A Perry spokesperson did not respond to the outlet’s questions about his reasons. The report does not say how the House voted on the amendments. [34]

Voting in Pennsylvania: official dates, deadlines and rules
The general election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The dates and rules below were read from the Pennsylvania Department of State; the authority's own page, linked beside each one, is the final word.
Dates and deadlines
- Voter registration deadlineOctober 19, 2026 is the last day to register to vote, or to update your registration, before the November 3, 2026 general election. The Department of State prints one deadline for every way of applying (online, by mail or in person) and gives no time of day. Read from: pa.gov/agencies/vote/voter-registration
- Registering by mail: received-by deadlineOctober 19, 2026. The Department of State's 2026 General Election Calendar says all applications for registration, including updates to an existing registration, must be received by the county boards of elections by this date. The paper form says to mail or deliver it to your county elections office at least 15 days before the election. Read from: pa.gov/content/dam/copapwp-pagov/en/dos/programs/voting-and-elections/running-for-office/2026/2026-general-election-calendar.pdf
- Counties begin sending mail ballotsNo later than October 20, 2026. County boards of elections must begin to deliver or mail civilian absentee and mail-in ballots as soon as possible after the ballots are printed, and in no event later than this day. Each county's ballots become available on its own schedule. Read from: pa.gov/content/dam/copapwp-pagov/en/dos/programs/voting-and-elections/running-for-office/2026/2026-general-election-calendar.pdf
- Last day to apply for and vote a mail ballot in person (on-demand mail ballot voting)October 27, 2026, 5 p.m. is the deadline to apply in person for a mail ballot at your county election office or other designated location, where you can request, receive, vote and submit the ballot in one visit. The Department of State prints no statewide start date: the option opens in each county when its ballots are ready. Read from: pa.gov/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot/mail-ballot-before-election-day
- Deadline to apply for a mail-in or absentee ballotOctober 27, 2026, 5 p.m. Your application for a mail-in or absentee ballot must be received by your county election office by then. It is a received-by deadline, and it is the same for online, paper and in-person applications. Read from: pa.gov/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot
- Deadline to return a mail-in or absentee ballotNovember 3, 2026, 8 p.m. Your county election office must receive your completed ballot by then. It is a received-by deadline: a postmark by 8 p.m. on November 3 is not sufficient. Read from: pa.gov/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot
- Poll hoursPolls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day, November 3, 2026. If you are in line by 8 p.m., you can vote. Read from: pa.gov/services/vote/find-your-local-polling-place
- Military and overseas absentee ballotsNovember 10, 2026 is the last day for the county election office to receive completed military and overseas absentee ballots, which must be submitted for delivery no later than 11:59 p.m. on November 2, 2026. The 2026 General Election Calendar says such a ballot must be delivered by 5:00 PM on November 10 to be counted. Read from: pa.gov/agencies/vote/elections/upcoming-elections
Rules to know
- What to bringYou must show identification only the first time you vote at a polling place, meaning the first time you appear to vote in a particular election district. Approved photo IDs: Pennsylvania driver's license or PennDOT ID card; ID issued by any Commonwealth agency; ID issued by the U.S. Government; U.S. passport; U.S. Armed Forces ID; student ID (including an electronic/digital student ID card); employee ID. If you do not have a photo ID, you can use one of the following so long as it includes your name and address: confirmation issued by the county voter registration office, such as a voter registration card; non-photo ID issued by the Commonwealth; non-photo ID issued by the U.S. Government; firearm permit; current utility bill; current bank statement; paycheck; government check. You will not have to show ID again unless you move and are assigned to a new polling place. A voter who is required to show ID but cannot show it may be issued a provisional ballot. Read from: pa.gov/agencies/vote/voter-support/new-voters
- Voting by mailAny registered voter may apply for a mail-in ballot without giving a reason. An absentee ballot is for voters who will be out of their municipality on Election Day or who have a disability or illness that prevents them from going to the polling place, and it requires a reason. Apply online, on paper or in person at your county election office. You must give your Pennsylvania driver's license or PennDOT ID number; if you have not been issued one, the last four digits of your Social Security number; if you have neither, a copy of an accepted photo ID such as an unexpired U.S. passport. Seal your ballot in the yellow envelope marked “official election ballot,” seal that envelope in the pre-addressed outer return envelope, and sign and write the current date on the voter's declaration; otherwise the ballot will not be counted. Voters must return their own ballots: by mail, at a drop box where the county has one, at the county election office or at another officially designated location, but not at a polling place. The exceptions are voters with a disability who have designated someone in writing to deliver the ballot and voters who need an emergency absentee ballot. Read from: pa.gov/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot
- Voting before Election DayThe Department of State's pages list no early-voting period at polling places. Instead, when your county's ballots are ready, you can request, receive, vote and submit your mail-in or absentee ballot all in one visit to your county election office or other officially designated location (the Department calls this on-demand mail ballot voting). You will need your PennDOT ID number or the last 4 digits of your Social Security number. The deadline to apply for a ballot in person for the 2026 general election is 5 p.m., October 27, 2026; you may drop off your mail ballot in person until 8 p.m. on Election Day. Check your county's website or call your county to see if ballots are finalized and available. Read from: pa.gov/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot/mail-ballot-before-election-day
- Track your ballotYou can track the status of your mail-in or absentee ballot online with the Department of State's ballot tracking tool. If you gave your email address to your county election office when you registered to vote or applied for a mail ballot, you may receive an email notification when your returned ballot is received, as well as information about your ballot status, depending on county practices. If you vote a provisional ballot, you can find out whether it counted, partially counted or did not count beginning 7 days after the election, online or by calling 1-877-VOTESPA. Read from: pa.gov/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot
- If there is a problem with your mail ballotThe Department of State's voter pages do not describe a statewide process for correcting a mail ballot after it is returned, and they say ballot-status notices depend on county practices. If you received a mail ballot but did not return it, you may surrender the ballot and its outer return envelope at your polling place and vote a regular ballot; without them you can vote only by provisional ballot. If you returned a completed mail ballot that was rejected, or that you believe will be rejected, and you believe you are eligible to vote, you may be issued a provisional ballot at your polling place. After 5 p.m. on the Tuesday before the election (October 27, 2026), a voter with an emergency such as an unexpected illness, disability or last-minute absence from the municipality can request an emergency absentee ballot; that application is due at the county election office by 8 p.m. on Election Day. The 2026 General Election Calendar sets November 9, 2026 as the last day for county boards of elections to receive proof of identification that can be verified from an absentee or mail-in voter.
