Immigration & Border
Supports enforcement-first border policies including resuming border-wall construction, ending catch-and-release, expanding detention/removal, and increasing border personnel and authorities. Backed the House Republican Secure the Border Act (H.R. 2) and frames the Biden administration’s border approach as a national-security crisis that requires strong border controls.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate has supported federal legislation that would grant legal personhood to embryos and effectively ban most abortions, while his official House webpage states he opposes taxpayer-funded abortion but supports exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. Public statements and sponsorship record therefore contain conflicting signals about whether he supports a near-total federal ban or allows limited exceptions.

He has voted against measures to modernize federal weather and NOAA capabilities and has criticized radical climate activism and regulation while promoting an ‘‘energy dominance’’/fossil-fuel–friendly approach.
Public Safety & Guns
Scott Perry supports Second Amendment rights and opposes many proposed federal gun-control measures; he voted against recent bills to expand background checks and has received high marks from gun-rights groups. His public record shows votes for concealed-carry reciprocity and opposition to universal background-check legislation.

Scott Perry is in the news because his Pennsylvania House seat is shaping up to be a highly competitive 2026 race.
