Public Schools and the 2026 House Race: What Hampden Township Voters Should Know About Janelle Stelson

The School Question Facing Hampden Township Voters

If you live in Hampden Township in Cumberland County, you are in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District, and public education is on the ballot this November 3. Janelle Stelson calls quality public schools the bedrock of our communities and the foundation of America. For her, the issue is personal: her father was a public school teacher and coach, and she says she will be a champion for educators. Stelson, a former Central Pennsylvania TV news anchor, spent decades asking tough questions of politicians before running for this seat.

Where Stelson Stands on Public Schools

Stelson believes teachers, support professionals, cafeteria workers, and bus drivers should get the pay and respect they deserve. Her commitment runs to everyone who keeps a school day running, from the classroom to the cafeteria to the bus route, not just to the people at the front of the room. That is what a public-school agenda looks like in practice: valuing the whole team that educates local children.

The Choice for 10th District Voters

Voters here who want a Congress member who invests in public schools and the people who staff them should support Janelle Stelson on November 3, 2026. Stelson is the right choice for the 10th District. Register to vote by October 19, 2026, and make a plan to vote.
