Orlando Hubbs (February 18, 1840 – December 5, 1930) was a Republican from New York who briefly served as a one-term U.S. representative from North Carolina's 2nd congressional district during the Reconstruction era. He later returned to NY, where he was a member of the state Senate.
Political career
U.S. House of Representatives
Hubbs ran for United States House of Representatives in 1880, an election cycle in which the GOP convention was divided over his party nomination.[1] However, the publicity of the factionalism dissolved during the general election campaign, where Hubbs defeated Democrat white supremacist William H. Kitchn by fifteen percentage points.[2]
