Scott Perry
Scott Gordon Perry (born May 27, 1962) is an American politician and retired Army National Guard brigadier general who is the U.S. representative for Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district, serving since 2013. The district, numbered as Pennsylvania's 4th congressional district from 2013 to 2019, is centered around Harrisburg, York, and most of their inner suburbs in Dauphin, Cumberland, and York counties. Perry is a member of the Republican Party.
In November 2021 Perry was elected chair of the House Freedom Caucus, the most conservative House Republican group, and served through 2023.
Perry participated in attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, including by attempting to replace Pennsylvania's slate of electors.
Scott Gordon Perry was born in San Diego, California, to Cecile Lenig and Jim Perry. Scott's grandparents were Colombian immigrants. His mother was a flight attendant and left an abusive relationship with his father after he was born. She moved with him and his brother to south-central Pennsylvania, when he was seven. After losing her flight attendant job, she worked for a wholesale food company. The family lived first in Harrisburg and then soon afterwards moved to Dillsburg.
Perry and his family were on public assistance for several years during his youth. He was raised in a simple home that initially had no electricity and plumbing, pumping water from a well and cutting firewood with his older brother in the winter. When he was eleven years old, his mother married his step father, Daniel Chimel, who was an airplane pilot and air traffic controller.
In 1980, Perry graduated from Northern High School in Dillsburg and Cumberland-Perry Vo-Tech School in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He put himself through college while working full-time, earned his associate's degree from Harrisburg Area Community College, and graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration and management in 1991. In 2012, he received a Master of Science degree in strategic planning from the United States Army War College.
Perry began working at age 13, picking fruit at Ashcombe's Farm in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Since then, he has worked as a mechanic, dock worker, draftsman, and licensed insurance agent, among other jobs.
Perry enlisted in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard in 1980. He attended basic training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, and graduated from Advanced Individual Training at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, as a technical drafting specialist. He graduated from Pennsylvania's Officer Candidate School and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Field Artillery.
