Brookfield Republican Rob Hutton running for State Assembly. (Brookfield Patch, 4/16/2012)

Excerpt: Hutton, who lives in Brookfield, said he wants to start his campaign around Tax Day because he will run on a platform of fiscal responsibility. On his campaign Facebook page, he describes himself as a conservative and pro-life Republican.

“Today we are witnessing a government that is unrestrained in its spending and regulation policies,” Hutton said in a press release. “We need more elected officials that will take a stand, like Governor Walker, by advocating for economic freedom through real budget and spending disciplines.”

Hutton is currently the president and owner of Rock Transfer & Storage, Inc., a Milwaukee-based company with 110 employees. He also spent the past seven years as a supervisor on the Waukesha County Board. Hutton grew up in Brookfield, graduated from Brookfield East High School, and earned his bachelor's degree in history from UW-Whitewater.

He currently lives in Brookfield with his wife Patti and four children ages 8 to 14.
