Coronavirus Update

Dear Neighbors,

I’m honored to represent you in Congress, and my top priority is keeping our community and our Country safe. In order to keep our community updated on the latest COVID-19 developments, I've added this new resource page to my website. Information will be updated regularly, and you can also follow along on Twitter @RepScottPerry or on Facebook at Congressman Scott Perry for more frequent information. 

I'm ready to assist you with any federal issues you may experience during this crisis. We're here to liaise with federal agencies, should you have any challenges/questions. No issue or question is too small.  We're here to serve you; please let us know what you need www.perry.house.gov / 717- 603 - 4980.

Very Respectfully, 


Scott Perry
