News
Justin Douglas was a Democratic candidate in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District, running to challenge Republican Rep. Scott Perry. He lost the primary to Janelle Stelson, who won the nomination on May 19. The race drew attention because Democrats saw the district as competitive and focused on issues like affordability, health care, immigration, and foreign policy.
