Party: Independent
Incumbent: No
Submitted Biography: "A LIFE OF SERVICE My over 30 years of service with the Army, first as a soldier and finishing as an Army spouse, have given me experiences I would not change. I have met dynamic people, lived in towns from one coast of the lower 48 to the other, and even spent a few years in Italy. This has given me insight into the strength, compassion, determination, and resilience of human beings. It is with this insight and belief in the human spirit that I approach the journey I am on and incorporate the values of service, benevolence, respect, determination, adaptability, and partnership. I have kept myself aware of community needs and concerns at the installations where we lived and the communities surrounding the post. I have always known I would eventually enter politics. Our moves and deployments left little room for this endeavor. Today, my determination to serve our citizens is informed by my mother’s example as a determined immigrant in the United States, my Midwest roots, and our service to our country. I recognize the thread that has connected each aspect of my life and how this knowledge has informed our decision to embrace the Pennsylvania community we call home. The value of having standards and insisting others rise to our expectations is what I will bring to the Representative’s office for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District."

Isabelle Harman (Independent)
As an Independent, I am responsible to the people of PA-10, not a party.
Build bridges, fill gaps of unknowns between communities. We must realize, regardless where we live, our needs and wants are either similar, the same, or the answer may come from someone we don't know because they bring a fresh perspective.
Isabelle Harman (Independent)
Agriculture/Farming - We want generational farming to be a viable choice. We want our farmers out of debt. We do not want our farmers to feel the pressure to sell portions of their land.
Education - Every student has the right to a fully-funded public education.
Healthcare - provide affordable fundamental healthcare to our citizens.
Isabelle Harman (Independent)
Isabelle Harman (Independent)
Isabelle Harman (Independent)
Have frank, open, and respectful conversations with constituents, colleagues, staff, and others so that, at the end of the day, we come to a reasonable solution; or, agree that it will be necessary to continue the discussion; or, realize that there is no possibility that either(any) person(s) will change their position and move on.
Accountability to all citizens, residents, and guests in the district.
Open door policy.
Locally available staff at accessible offices in the district. Commitment to meet with citizens and residents in person at meetings or one-on-one when in the district.
Be honest. Tell the public the truth. Tell the public when there is a topic that cannot be discussed. Tell the public when I don't know the answer but reassure them our team will find out and respond.
Entrepreneurship, innovation, economic development, advancing technology, and ensuring opportunities to participate in these endeavors is essential to ensure a thriving community.
Conversations must be had with community leaders (those who are not elected officials) and elected officials from the local level to the state level of government.

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]
