About Terry Hutchinson

My wife and I both grew up in Alpine and graduated from American Fork High School.  My public school education provided me opportunities and knowledge that were foundational for my life.  JeNee and I  have five children and nine grandchildren.  Following my graduation from BYU Law School, I served 5 years in the Army and then practiced law in Utah and Nevada for more than three decades.  

During that time, I served on the Washington County Library Board for 8 years, where we doubled the number and size of the libraries in Washington County.  I was elected twice to the Washington County School Board before returning to Alpine, where our parents and children live.  From 1994 until 2025, I hosted a daily book review program on various radio stations in St George.  

I'm an attorney with decades of litigations and negotiation in two states.  I ask the hard questions and get answers.  During my 8 years as a local school board member, our Board built several schools (due to rapid growth) without raising taxes, changed our building process from borrowing money to pay-as-you-go (saving tens of millions of taxpayer dollars per year in interest); worked with the administrative system (improving its accountability to the Board and increasing the quality of its new hires); protected parents rights and led the fight in Utah to remove inappropriate materials from the school libraries.  I made it a point to respond to all my constituents and their issues.
