Charles W. Hunt (January 2, 1864 – August 16, 1938) was an Iowa politician who served as the chair of the Federal Trade Commission from December 1, 1926 to November 30, 1927, and again from January 1, 1931 to December 31, 1931.[1]
Hunt's reappointment was contested in the Senate, where Senator William H. King of Utah objected, asserting "that Hunt was a reactionary and was not enforcing the law".[4] After several weeks of delay, Hunt was reconfirmed.[5] Hunt retired from the FTC in 1932, and remained in Washington, D.C., until his death, at the age of 74.[3]
