Scanlon was born in Syracuse, New York, but raised in Watertown, New York, from the age of six. She has two sisters, Elizabeth Maura Scanlon and M. Kathleen Scanlon, and is the daughter of Daniel J. Scanlon Jr. and Carol Florence Yehle. Her father was an attorney who became a part-time magistrate in 1971 and a full-time magistrate in 1993 after working as an attorney. Leo J. Yehle, her maternal grandfather, was a family-court judge who helped draft New York’s first juvenile justice system in the 1960s.

On April 27, 2018, a month before the primary, Meehan resigned from the House of Representatives. In a special election to succeed him, Scanlon was named the Democratic candidate. As a result, on November 6, she ran in two elections: a special election in the old 7th for the remainder of Meehan’s fourth term, and a regular election in the new 5th for a full two-year term. Pearl Kim, a prosecutor, was her Republican opponent.

Scanlon announced her candidacy for the United States Congress in Pennsylvania’s 5th District on February 25, 2018. The district had previously been the 7th, which was represented by four-term Republican Pat Meehan, who had announced his decision not to run for reelection a month prior. She gave a speech at Swarthmore Rutledge School to kick off the campaign. The seat was one of several that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court drastically revised after ruling that the previous map was an unlawful partisan Republican gerrymander. The 5th Congressional District has been reconfigured to include all of Delaware County, a slice of Montgomery County, and the southwestern part of Philadelphia. Scanlon’s interest in running was spurred by the fact that Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation was devoid of women. Former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell and the Philadelphia Inquirer both endorsed her.
