Now that former TV anchor Janelle Stelson has defeated Dauphin County Commissioner Justin Douglas for the Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District. She will now face Congressman Scott Perry in the November general election.
But there are many other state House and Senate candidates who punched their tickets, too.
More than 1.7 million Pennsylvanians cast ballots in Tuesday’s primary election, accounting for about one out of four registered Democrats and Republicans eligible to vote.
There were no significant disruptions to polling sites. Secretary of State Al Schmidt said Tuesday’s smooth voting process is thanks to at least 45,000 poll workers.
On Tuesday, Democratic voters across Dauphin County and most of Cumberland and York Counties will choose the next challenger to the seven-term Republican incumbent in the U.S. House of Representatives, Scott Perry. The expected 60,000 or fewer voters, based on previous midterm primaries, have the choice between former local TV news anchor Janelle Stelson and Dauphin County Commissioner Justin Douglas.
