Lee Terry has represented the 2nd Congressional District for nearly 14 years. Seven elections, largely against opponents who ran less-than-stellar campaigns or were less qualified to serve Nebraskans in the House of Representatives.

It is important to note that this newspaper has supported Terry in each of those elections. But the Republican congressman has demonstrated relatively little legislative leadership during his time in the House, a period that included 10 years of GOP majorities.

His voting record is conservative and has largely represented the views of his constituents in Omaha and the surrounding areas. And it's notable that if Terry were to be re-elected, his accumulated seniority makes him likely to win the chairmanship of a subcommittee if Republicans retain control of the House.

This year, however, Terry is facing a challenge from an extremely capable public servant, Douglas County Treasurer John Ewing.
