Early life

Nebraska Legislature
In 1943, Governor Dwight Griswold appointed State Senator H. G. Greenamyre to serve as his secretary.[2] Griswold did not plan to appoint a successor until a special legislative session was called in 1944, and he appointed Hutton to serve out the remainder of Greenamyre's term.[3] Hutton was sworn in on March 27, 1944,[4] and declined to run for a full term.[5]
Post-legislative career
In 1947, Governor Val Peterson appointed Hutton to the Nebraska Game Commission,[6] Following the death of Congressman Karl Stefan in 1951, Hutton was seen as a possible Republican candidate for the special election to fill Stefan's seat,[7] but ultimately declined to run.[8]
