House of Representatives
2004 election In 2004, Kuhl ran for the House seat of retiring U.S. Representative Amo Houghton, a Republican multimillionaire who had displayed a moderate bent during 18 years in Washington. In the Republican primary, Kuhl, who was supported by Houghton,[2] defeated Monroe County Legislator Mark Assini. He then defeated 27-year-old Democrat Samara Barend. Amory Amo Houghton Jr. ...
Monroe County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York. ...
Samara Sam Barend was the 2004 Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives for the 29th Congressional district of New York State. ...
The campaign finished out with harsh television commercials casting Barend as devious and untrustworthy and Kuhl as a drunken driver whose breakup with his wife in the 1990s shed doubts on his fitness to hold office. Kuhl, who had been heavily favored in the Republican-leaning 29th District (registered Republicans outnumbered registered Democrats 3-2), won with 51% of the vote, as opposed to Barend's nearly 41%. (Conservative Party candidate Mark Assini, who dropped out of the race in September 2004, garnered 6%.)
Political positions Kuhl, a veteran New York politician, was among the oldest — and most politically experienced — freshmen of the 2004 House class. He is considered a fairly reliable conservative who generally votes against abortion rights, gun control and tax increases. He has the second highest lifetime rating (87.5%) from the American Conservative Union out of the 29 Representatives from New York state.[3] He is, however, a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Gun politics. ...
The American Conservative Union (ACU) is a large conservative political lobbying group in the United States. ...
The Republican Main Street Partnership is a group of social liberals and moderates in the United States Republican Party. ...
Kuhl has said he will fight to make President Bush's tax cuts permanent. In addition, he has also advocated for a 10-cent reduction in federal gasoline taxes. [1]
He has supported the Iraq war and rebuilding efforts, saying "we must see this effort through."
Since the Democratic Party has taken over the House of Representatives in the 2006 elections, Kuhl has shifted his focus somewhat. He has opposed the military's "stop-loss" policy [2] and recently addressed the issue of parents who both serve in the military [3]. The stop-loss policy, in the United States military, is the involuntary retention of troops to remain in service beyond their contractually agreed-upon term. ...
Personal Kuhl and his ex-wife have three sons.
In 1997, while a state senator, Kuhl was arrested for driving while intoxicated. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of having a blood alcohol content above 0.10 percent, was fined $590 and had his driver's license revoked for six months. Blood alcohol content (BAC) or blood alcohol concentration is the concentration of alcohol in blood. ...
Domestic disputes Kuhl divorced in 2000. During the 2004 campaign, an opponent's campaign manager leaked Kuhl's divorce records, which had been sealed, to the media [4]. In those records, Kuhl's former wife alleged that he abused her emotionally; that he refused to seek counseling for a history of drinking to excess; that he solicited other women for sex; and that he threatened to murder her with two shotguns during a dinner party. [5] Remington pump-action shotgun held by a Florida Highway Patrol cadet shotgun, see: Shotgun (disambiguation). ...
Kuhl and his former wife, Jennifer, called the release of the records "ugly politics" and an invasion of their privacy, especially since "New York state has the strictest [confidentiality] law [for divorce proceedings]: Divorce records are [supposed to be] sealed from public inspection, without exception, for 100 years."[6] While refusing to address their contents, Kuhl said the documents detailed a difficult time in their life but contained "nothing incriminating."
2006 re-election campaign -
Kuhl's Democratic opponent in the 2006 elections was former Navy officer Eric Massa of Corning, a former Republican. New Yorks 29th congressional district— Freshman incumbent Randy Kuhl (R) Kuhl was elected with 50% in a three way race in 2004. ...

In March 2006, Kuhl invited President George W. Bush to Canandaigua, in Kuhl's district. Bush spoke at Canandaigua Academy, a public high school. After the high school visit with invited guests, Bush's motorcade skipped a trip along the decked-out Main Street welcoming him and took the back roads to the next scheduled stop, Ferris Hills, a senior living community for upper-income residents. (The trip had previously been billed as including a visit to a "nursing home".) President Bush took questions for about fifteen minutes from these seniors about his new prescription-drug plan, Medicare Part D. It is not clear if these residents were the target population of the legislation formulating the plan. George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) is the 43rd and current President of the United States, inaugurated on January 20, 2001. ...
There are two local governmental bodies known as Canandaigua and both are in Ontario County, New York. ...
In September 2006, Kuhl welcomed Vice President Dick Cheney to a major fundraiser in Rochester. Kuhl said he couldn't agree more with Cheney's assessment that combating terrorists around the world stands as the top issue of this campaign. A flow of bad news from the war zone needs to be countered by a frank discussion of reality, he said. "They don't necessarily understand the full importance of our presence there," he said of his Finger Lakes and Southern Tier constituents.[7] Richard Bruce Dick Cheney (born January 30, 1941), is the 46th and current Vice President of the United States, serving under President George W. Bush. ...
Preliminary results from the November election show Kuhl narrowly beating Massa by a margin of approximately 5,600 votes (out of about 193,000 cast).[8] Massa had initially refused to concede the election and was expected to file a challenge, but on November 15, 2006 Massa conceded the election and contacted Kuhl to congratulate him. [9] According to the final election results, which were certified by the New York State Board of Elections on December 14, 2006, Kuhl won by a margin of 6,033 votes (out of 206,121 cast).[10]
