Jon Hubbard

Jon Michael Hubbard (born December 12, 1946) is a Republican former member of the Arkansas House of Representatives for District 75 in Jonesboro in Craighead County in eastern Arkansas.

Hubbard was reared in North Little Rock, served in the United States Air Force, attended the University of Central Arkansas in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.

Hubbard defeated incumbent Joan Cash, a Democrat, in the 2010 elections.

In 2009, Hubbard published a book titled Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative, in which he said "the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise," that blacks don't "appreciate the value of a good education", and that in the future immigration, both legal and illegal, must lead to "planned wars or extermination" which would be "as necessary as eating and breathing".

In 2012, Hubbard won the Republican primary in District 58, rather than District 75. However, he was defeated in the general election by Democrat Harold Copenhaver.

From 1991 to 1995, Hubbard was a teacher and coach at Walnut Ridge High School in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. He then worked as owner/agent of Arkansas First Stop Insurance, Inc., from 1995 to 2006. Since 2006, he has been amarketing representative for Equity Insurance Company. From 1975 to 1991, he had also been an insurance agent.

Hubbard survived a heart attack in 2011.
