Congressman Scott Perry, representing Pennsylvania's 10th district since 2013, recently made multiple statements on critical issues via social media. Perry, who succeeded Todd Platts and holds a background in state legislature, often addresses public concerns ranging from fiscal matters to community welfare.

On April 6, 2025, Perry expressed dissatisfaction with the Senate's proposed deficit cuts compared to those made by the House. He conveyed his skepticism by saying, "If the Senate delivers real deficit cuts in line with the House’s, I’ll support it. But with the Senate setting numbers as insulting, insincere, and low as $4 BILLION (that’s a cheeseburger, folks) compared to the House’s hard work at $2 TRILLION, I’m not holding my breath."

On April 7, 2025, Perry addressed Medicaid fraud within his state. He cited an incident involving a healthcare worker named Nyshimah Anderson, accused of defrauding over $42,000. Perry voiced concern through a tweet, "Medicaid fraud in Pennsylvania continues to divert resources from people who actually need it. Nyshimah Anderson is a healthcare worker in Bucks County and allegedly defrauded Medicaid more than $42,000 for work she didn't do — money that should have gone to critical services."

Also on April 7, 2025, Perry announced legislative actions to support law enforcement officers. Perry, along with Rep. Greg Stanton, initiated a congressional resolution for a memorial event. He tweeted, "I’m proud to introduce H. Con. Res. 9 with Rep. Greg Stanton to authorize the Capitol Grounds for the 44th Annual National Peace Officers Memorial event, to honor our Law Enforcement Officers taken from us in the line of duty in 2024."
