Hi John, it’s Janelle Stelson. I’m the Democrat running to flip PA-10 — one of the closest U.S. House races in the country.

This month has been a stark reminder of exactly why I am running for Congress.

The federal government shut down causing millions of furloughed workers to miss paychecks, families are unable to access SNAP benefits and health premiums are about to skyrocket.

And how is our so-called leader Congressman Scott Perry addressing this catastrophe? He is making national headlines for disrespecting our troops. You know, the selfless men and women who are currently worrying about when their next paycheck is coming.

It makes as little sense to me as it does to you.

What is clear is the fact that we have to get Scott Perry out of Congress. But I need your help. Right now, I am facing my end-of-month fundraising deadline and I need to raise $10,000 before Friday at midnight. Can you rush $10 right now?

Political pundits are calling this race to flip PA-10 one of the closest U.S. House races in the country, and Democrats’ biggest shot at winning back a Congressional majority.

There is a lot on the line, which makes it all the more critical that I hit my October fundraising goal.

So John, will you help me fire Perry and flip the U.S. House? Every dollar counts, and I truly could not be more grateful for your support.

Thank you,

Janelle
