“This is a very humbling moment for me,” Hubler said.  “I have been to a lot of J-J dinners,” but rarely as a guest, he said.  “And now I’m standing up here,” he continued.  “It is a humbling thing.”

Saying his life is “tied together” by service, Hubler recounted his past in the military, working for former U.S. Sen. Dick Clark and doing political fundraising, and then becoming a minister.

Asking for the opportunity “to serve my country once again” by winning a seat in congress, Hubler said, “people are absolutely angry at what is going on in our country today.”

Blaming the current economic crisis on Republican policies, Hubler said, “We are going to change the direction of this nation by changing congress.”

When King loses, Hubler said, “Everyone in the fifth district will indeed be dancing in the streets.”

“The fifth district wants a servant, not a king,” Hubler said, making a reference to his opponent’s last name.
