Carroll Hubbard, Jr. (born July 7, 1937) is an American former politician. A Democrat, he represented Kentucky in the United States House of Representatives from 1975 to 1993.

Hubbard grew up in Murray, Kentucky, graduated from Georgetown College in 1959 and from the University of Louisville law school in 1962. In 1967, he was elected to serve in the Kentucky Senate.[1]

Hubbard served in Congress for 18 years, but lost his 1992 re-election bid in the Democratic primary to Thomas Barlow after becoming one of a number of Representatives embroiled in the "Rubbergate" House banking scandal.[2][3][4] During his time in Congress, he mounted an unsuccessful primary challenge for Governor in 1979.[5]

After he pleaded guilty to violations of federal campaign finance laws, Hubbard served two years in prison from 1995 to 1997.[6] His wife, Carol Brown Hubbard, was also convicted of using his congressional aides to work on her failed campaign for Congress and was sentenced to five years probation.[7]

In 2006 and 2008, Hubbard was unsuccessful in attempts to seek re-election to the Kentucky Senate. He lost by only 58 votes in the 2006 race.[8][9]
