In 1980 he achieved a big political upset in challenging and defeating Democratic incumbent [[Lionel van Deerlin]] in a Democratic-leaning San Diego-based district, which was redrawn to be solidly Republican in 1982. Since the redrawing, Hunter has won reelection. He consistently wins 70% of the vote in the solidly Republican 52nd district of California. His voting record is virtually 100% conservative in Congress, often taking the lead on controversial issues. Hunter is a proponent of [[fair trade]]. <ref>http://www.gohunter08.com/inner.asp?z=4</ref>
