Hutton Coasts in 13th Assembly District Race

Former Waukesha County supervisor easily turns away two challengers to win GOP primary contest.

Rob Hutton has won a three-way Republican primary race Tuesday to vie for the .

Hutton, of Brookfield, a former Waukesha County Board supervisor and businessman, garnered 5,331 votes, or 58 percent, in his first try for a state office.

Hutton will face in the November general election. Pokrandt is an account manager for City Press Inc. who made an unsuccessful bid for the office of mayor of Wauwatosa, his first run for elective office.

Thomas Schellinger, with experience as a Waukesha County Board supervisor and Brookfield city alderman, had 2,961 votes, or 32 percent.

Nate Ristow of Wauwatosa, a 2009 Marquette University law graduate who most recently worked as an assistant legal counsel for Gov. Scott Walker, had polled just 952, or 10 percent, of votes cast. This was Ristow's first bid for any elective office.

The 13th District represents roughly the southern halves of Wauwatosa and Brookfield and all of Elm Grove.

Schellinger ran for the assembly in 2010 in the 98th Assembly district.

So noted, and thanks.

I hope Hutton represents us more than 65% of the time unlike he did on the Waukesha Co. Board last year. I think we missed a chance to elect the next Scott Walker or Paul Ryan in Ristow. Money rules politics again, sadly.

I don't know if it is because Tosa wards are slower to report, but I'm a little surprised that Ristow isn't doing better.

Just got the final (unofficial) returns from Wauwatosa, and Hutton demolished Ristow in Ristow's hometown. No home field advantage.

I dislike so much sarcasm in one post. Why not just come out and say something directly?

Steve, I have friends and co-workers whose political leanings vary from far right to far left andRead More everything in between. I certainly wouldn't make decisions "on their future" simply based on whether or not they signed a petition. I value the input I receive from my exposure to their varying viewpoints. It seems awfully petty and shortsighted to base so many decisions on one factor. When I hire an employee, political opinions are not important to me - credentials, experience, work ethic, that's what I look for; I am interested in hiring a competent person, not someone who simply shares my political leanings. You frequently tout yourself as a "producer" - of what, I don't know. Since you so strongly support the idea of making decisions on the litmus test of whether or not someone supports or opposes Governor Walker, I suggest that you let everyone know the name of your company and what you produce. That way, people who share your ideals can support your business and those that don't can make an educated decision as to whether or not they want to work with you.

One battle lost is not the end of the war. Walker has proven to be the biggest loser that this stateRead More has ever seen. We are almost last in every catagory and if your married with daughters all your thier rights have been taken away by your God. Remember when you and Walker take your place in hell the dead will some day walk the earth again.
