DHS Links Arrested Man to Janelle Stelson Campaign; Campaign Denies Claim

Outlets report that a man arrested in Pennsylvania was linked to Janelle Stelson’s campaign as a canvasser, and the campaign denied employing him. Left-leaning outlets focus on the police account that the man said he was waiting to distribute campaign flyers, alongside the campaign’s denial. Center outlets pair DHS’s claim with the denial, while several also foreground a watchdog complaint alleging a Hatch Act violation. Right-leaning outlets foreground the indecent-exposure arrest and alleged campaign link, often presenting it as grounds for criticism of Stelson while noting her campaign’s denial.
