Brookfield Republican Rob Hutton Running for State Assembly
Former Waukesha County supervisor is running in 13th District, which has new boundary lines because of redistricting.
Former Waukesha County supervisor Rob Hutton is kicking off his campaign for State Assembly Monday, hoping to represent the new 13th District, which will now include parts of Elm Grove, Brookfield, Wauwatosa and West Allis.
The district is currently represented by Democrat David Cullen, who has held the office since 1990 but has not announced whether he will run again in the fall election. Cullen was to the Milwaukee County Board on April 3, representing the 15th District.
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.

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.
