After graduation in 1972, she enrolled at the University of Florida in Gainesville and earned a bachelor's degree in journalism, graduating early in 1975.

The Washington State Republican Party named her Chair Emeritus, the only such designation in its history.

Political career

In 2005, Hutchison was one of ten people appointed by King County Executive Ron Sims to the “King County Independent Task Force on Elections” that was commissioned to make recommendations to improve the election process after the contested gubernatorial election of 2004.

When Sims stepped down in April 2009, Hutchison announced her candidacy for the non-partisan office of King County executive. Hutchison won the primary election with 37% of the vote and finished second in the general election against Dow Constantine, with 224,467 votes (41% of the vote).

In 2013, Hutchison became the chair of the Washington State Republican Party. As chair of the party, she described Republicans as a “patchwork quilt of opinions” in need of unity and strong leadership. During her term as chair, the GOP gained six seats in the state house of representatives and the number of state senators caucusing with the Republicans expanded to 26, the highest total since 1949. She resigned in February 2018 amid speculation she would take a position with the administration of President Donald Trump. Hutchison was the unsuccessful Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in the 2018 election, losing to incumbent Democrat Maria Cantwell. Hutchison received 1,282,804 votes (42% of the vote).
