Pennsylvania Democratic strategist Mike Mikus told The Daily Beast, "Everything from his attempts to steal the 2020 presidential election to his extreme views on issues that are important like abortion, I think this district is primed to be extremely competitive." Perry, who leads the House Freedom Caucus, allegedly had a significant role in the 2020 election overturn attempt.

In 2022, Perry's phone was seized by the FBI. In a statement, he said, "This morning, while traveling with my family, 3 FBI agents visited me and seized my cell phone. They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish."

Perry's attorney, John Rowley, also a member of Trump's legal team, did not comment at the time, nor did the FBI. However, numerous reports described Perry's alleged role following President Biden's victory. January 6 committee revealed that Perry and Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, communicated via an encrypted messaging app regarding the 2020 election.

"Republicans in Congress are receiving serious threats, and Scott Perry thinks it's funny," one ad says, and adds, "Funnyman Scott Perry doesn't represent Central Pennsylvania values." Snyder also called Perry a "band leader" of far right-wing Freedom Caucus, adding, "Both at the national level and local level, he's been a failed congressman, and that's the kind of information we want people to be aware of."
