Early life

Nebraska Legislature
[edit]In 1943, Governor Dwight Griswold appointed State Senator H. G.

Post-legislative career
[edit]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]
