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]

During the 47th congressional session (1881–83), Hubbs was dubbed a "carpetbagger," and worked quietly on patronage for political supporters, in addition to pursuing matters important to his district.[1] He was one of only seven House Republicans to vote against the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act,[3]
