At least two Harrisburg-area television stations have taken down an ad from a Trump-aligned PAC that sought to boost Republican Congressman Scott Perry by airing an unsubstantiated allegation of public nudity against Janelle Stelson, his Democratic opponent. The now-stricken ad relies on a statement from Stelson’s next-door neighbor, Sharon Orr, that she saw Stelson naked outdoors and took a photo before calling the police – the same allegation that Perry has used in ads from his own campaign, which began airing online last week.

In a closely-watched Harrisburg-area Congressional race that is increasingly contentious, one of the candidates is now slinging an unsubstantiated allegation of public nudity at his opponent.

Both campaigns released statements touting their second-quarter fundraising totals in what could shape up to be a rematch of the 2024 10th Congressional District general election that Perry won by about 5,100 votes. Patriots for Perry announced that Perry’s $885,000 haul in April, May and June was the most he has ever raised in a non-election year. Perry has $1.2 million in available cash. Perry spent nearly $239,000 in the...
