Scott Perry brings a unique background of hard work, military discipline, small business, and community involvement to the U.S. House of Representatives. He earned the privilege of representing Pennsylvania’s 10th District (Dauphin, part Cumberland, part York Counties), and presently serves on the U.S. House Committees on Transportation & Infrastructure, Foreign Affairs, Oversight & Accountability, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He’s also a member and former Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.

Perry served three terms in Harrisburg as a Pennsylvania State Representative, where he established a record for protecting Constitutional and Taxpayer rights.

Perry knows the importance of hard work and dedication. He’s the grandson of Colombian immigrants, and the son of a single mom who fled abuse and worked several jobs to survive and support her children – with whom she first landed in Harrisburg on Berryhill Street. Scott was raised on public assistance in his youth, in a spartan home with no electricity or plumbing, bathed in a steel tub on the porch, pumped water from a well, and cut firewood with his older brother to keep the family warm in winter.

At age 13, Perry started his first job – picking fruit at a local farm in Mechanicsburg. Since then, he’s worked as a mechanic, dock worker, draftsman and a licensed insurance agent. He’s a 1980 graduate of Northern High School and the Cumberland-Perry Vo-Tech School. He put himself through college while working full-time, and graduated from the Pennsylvania State University in 1991, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration Management. In 1993, Perry and his mom started their own mechanical contracting firm (initially in their garage). The Dillsburg-based business provided contract construction / maintenance services to municipal and investor-owned utilities from North Carolina to New York, and specialized in large meter calibration.
