James Ross Hinton (Born Aug. 30, 1974) is the United States House of Representatives candidate for California's 5th Congressional District. Hinton was born in Vallejo, California, raised in Napa, and graduated from Napa High in 1992. His father was a life-long worker at Mare Island and Vietnam War veteran. Political Views: In a New York Times article, Hinton "described himself as a fiercely independent social libertarian. Unencumbered by a political party. Hinton's views are a mix of libertarianism and liberalism: He favors legalizing marijuana, taxing Wall Street and replacing the Affordable Care Act with a one-size-fits-all single-payer health care system."
