Paul R. Hubbert (December 25, 1935 – October 14, 2014) was a Democratic gubernatorial candidate from the U.S. state of Alabama. From 1969 to 2011, he was executive secretary-treasurer of the Alabama Education Association, a professional association for teachers. The organization serves many of the functions of a trade union, and is often referred to as such by news media and political opponents. State law prohibits public employees from being represented by a union per se, hence the designation. He died in a Montgomery, Alabama hospital following complications of a fall October 6, 2014.
