Democratic challenger Janelle Stelson says her message about upholding democracy is not the main point of her campaign in Pennsylvania 's 10th District .

Democrats have used the Jan. 6 riot as one plank in a broader message, wrapping democratic norms into an argument about Republican extremism.

National polling typically shows preserving democracy as the top issue for voters.

Democrats from Kamala Harris to candidates further down the ballot have focused on abortion rights and the economy.

Democrats are bullish that Stelson , a former longtime TV anchor, can block Perry from a seventh term.

Democrats are also looking to unseat Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden , who attended the Jan. 6 rally but never entered the Capitol that day.

Other candidates are taking the same approach in Wisconsin ’s 3rd District .
