James Baxter Hunt Jr. is an American politician and retired attorney who was the 69th and 71st Governor of North Carolina (1977–1985, and 1993–2001). He is the longest-serving governor in the state's history. After Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop accused the tobacco industry of directing advertising at children and threatening human lives, Hunt called for his impeachment. Hunt’s master’s thesis was about economic analysis of different tobacco production techniques. Hunt is tied with former Ohio governor Jim Rhodes for the fourth-longest gubernatorial tenure in post-Constitutional U.S. history at 5,838 days.
