YORK, Pa. — Congressman Scott Perry finds himself in a place he’s never been before. He’s now in a district where he’s never represented 45 percent of the voters, he is facing his first tough general election, and he is holding onto a slim lead.
“It’s a very tight race,” Perry admitted. Thanks to redistricting, he’s gone from a district President Trump won by 21 percentage points to one Trump carried by 9. A more rural population has been replaced with a district with three cities filled with state workers and upper-middle-class suburbs — constituents who aren’t wild about the president.
