Stelson has said she’ll work to repeal Trump’s tariffs and advocate for a more stable foreign policy. Recently, Perry said Americans “need to be patient” for the promised benefits of Trump’s tariff policies to play out while prices are high, citing long-term relief.

Inflation, the economy, and jobs continue to concern most Americans. Biden-Harris and the radical Left’s spending increases have spiked inflation, weakened the economy, eliminated well-paying jobs, and ruined small businesses.

Economy

Social Security and Medicare are benefits hard-earned by our Senior Citizens. Scott Perry knows that we must keep our promise to our Seniors, by preserving and protecting Medicare and Social Security. He is opposed to the socialist “Medicare for All” and single-payer healthcare, and any attempt to provide illegals and non-U.S. citizens with Social Security and/or Medicare benefits.

Scott Perry opposes any attempt by the radical Left to implement a socialist-style, government-run healthcare system. He supports reforms that:

* Ensure coverage of pre-existing conditions;
* Reduce the costs of prescription drugs;
* Allow patients and doctors to make healthcare decisions – not insurance companies and the government;
* Expand health savings accounts;
* Allow individuals to purchase healthcare across state lines.

Healthcare

Perry’s campaign website does not include campaign finance in his platform, but he said in a statement to Spotlight PA that “my belief in the Constitutional right to free speech includes political speech through support for candidates — regardless of which party you support — which is also why I support the Citizens United decision and oppose capping political donations.”

Term limits

Imposing term limits on members of Congress is a point of agreement between the campaigns. Currently, there is no limit on the number of terms a member of Congress can serve.

In 2020, Perry signed the U.S. Term Limits Constitutional Amendment Pledge, agreeing to co-sponsor and vote for an amendment that would limit House members to three terms.

Both Perry and Stelson support banning members of Congress from trading stocks.

In July, Perry voted in favor of the Stop Insider Trading Act. Introduced by U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil (R., Wis.), it would prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from purchasing stocks, in addition to requiring public notice before they sell stocks. Perry is also one of the 93 co-sponsors of the legislation.

“Members of Congress need to make decisions for the public good, not their own financial gain. For far too long, too many Members have profited from having inside information,” Perry said in a news release following the vote.

Foreign Policy and Immigration

The Biden-Harris anti-American energy policies threaten our National security and have ruined our economy. America must be energy independent to grow our economy and maintain our security. Pennsylvania plays a critical role in returning America to energy independence by supporting our vast natural gas reserves and harnessing hydroelectric and nuclear power.

Scott Perry supports a blended energy portfolio that includes the development of clean energy technologies and using our vast energy resources – to reduce our dependence on foreign energy, turn around the economy, create jobs, reduce inflation, make energy more affordable, and preserve our environment.
