Howard J. Hunter Jr. (December 19, 1946 – January 7, 2007) was a Democratic member of the North Carolina General Assembly representing the state's fifth House district, including constituents in Bertie, Gates, Hertford and Perquimans (and formerly Northampton) counties. A funeral director from Ahoskie, North Carolina, Hunter served nine full terms in the state House of Representatives. After being elected to a tenth term in November 2006, Hunter died on January 7, 2007, before the new legislature convened.[1][permanent dead link] He was born in Washington, D.C.[1]
His son, Howard J. Hunter III, sought to replace his father in the seat, but local Democratic Party leaders instead nominated retired court clerk Annie Mobley.[2] The younger Hunter was eventually elected to the House, in 2014.
