Scott Gordon Perry (born May 27, 1962)[1][2] is an American politician and retired Army National Guard brigadier general who is the U.S. representative for Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district. It encompasses all of Dauphin County as well as parts of Cumberland County and York County. A member of the Republican Party, in November 2021 Perry was elected chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, the most conservative House Republican group,[3] and served through 2023.[4]
From 2013 to 2019, he was the representative for Pennsylvania's 4th congressional district, from 2013 to 2019. The district included Harrisburg, York, and most of the inner suburbs.
Perry participated in attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, including by attempting to replace Pennsylvania's slate of electors.[2]
