WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Janelle Stelson for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District.
“Elect Democratic Women is thrilled to endorse Janelle Stelson for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District. As a well-respected broadcast journalist, Janelle Stelson has earned a reputation for her straightforward and honest reporting,” said Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL), Chair of Elect Democratic Women. “During a time when women’s rights are under attack by the Republican Party, we need more women like Janelle in Congress who can effectively communicate the importance of fighting for women’s reproductive health and policies that truly support women and families.”
“Throughout my life, I’ve been a dedicated listener and advocate, connecting with the diverse voices of Pennsylvania and hearing about the issues that impact our everyday lives. Now, I’m stepping up to run for office because for too long, we’ve had a representative who cares more about his extremist agenda than serving our community. I am committed to fighting for the well-being of Pennsylvanians and ensuring our rights, including reproductive freedom, are safe. I am honored to have the endorsement of Elect Democratic Women,” said Janelle Stelson.
