Randall Terry, an independent who founded the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, lost the November 3, 2026 election for Virginia's 7th District to Eugene Vindman.

Little public record found for this candidate.
Terry was born in 1959; Ballotpedia lists education at Elim Bible Institute (1981) and Whitfield College (1995).[2][3] He founded Operation Rescue, an anti-abortion organization, and led it until 1991.[2][3]
Terry ran for Congress in Upstate New York in 1998 and for the Florida Senate in 2006, losing the Republican primary both times.[3] In 2012 he ran in the Democratic presidential primaries and, as an independent, for Florida's 20th District.[3] He was the Constitution Party's nominee for president in 2024.[3] Ballotpedia also lists him as a withdrawn or disqualified candidate for New Jersey's 7th District in 2026, so he would not appear on that ballot.[2] He received 0.4% of the vote to Eugene Vindman's 59.8%, according to unofficial results reported by NBC News.[4]
