Pennsylvania Democrat Janelle Stelson gave Republican Rep. Scott Perry the closest race of his political career in 2024, and many in her party are eager to see her try again.
The former television journalist, who said she is “seriously considering” another run, isn’t the only Democrat gearing up for a potential comeback.
Rebecca Cooke, who outpaced the top of the ticket last fall while losing to GOP Rep. Derrick Van Orden in Wisconsin, and Marlene Galán-Woods, who finished third in a six-way Arizona primary to take on Republican Rep. David Schweikert, are among the repeat contenders whom Democrats are counting on to help them win the House in 2026.
