The district, which includes the cities of Ithaca, Binghamton, and Kingston, is currently held by Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D). Terry is running under an ultra-right conservative platform. During his speech announcing his candidacy, he denounced lesbian and gay rights and abortion rights, and advocated terminating all social services funded by the federal government.
