Randall Allen Terry (born April 25, 1959) is an American politician, activist, and frequent candidate. He is known for founding Operation Rescue, an organization opposed to abortion. Terry is the Constitution Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2024 presidential election. From 1987 to 1991, he led the group, which gained attention for blocking entrances to abortion clinics. Terry has been arrested over 40 times,[1] including for trespassing at the University of Notre Dame to protest President Barack Obama's visit.[2]
In 2003, Terry started the Society for Truth and Justice and launched Operation Witness. He ran for Congress in New York in 1998 and for a seat in the Florida State Senate in 2006, but lost in the Republican primary both times.
Terry also participated in the 2012 Democratic Party presidential primaries.
