What uniquely quali es you for this position?
What is something you want Hutto residents to know about you? I have called Hutto home for 24 years and have seen my children graduate here. I honor those who have come before me, and those that will come after me. I currently live in the oldest “original” standing house in Hutto. I have trav- eled to other countries to serve those in need. My commitment is to grow Hutto, in a respect- ful way and bring prosperity to the community.
ROBIN SUTTON
I want to create the best quality of life for all of us that call Hutto home. I will continue to focus on our infrastructure needs to ensure we have the water/wastewater needed to support our growth. We need to nd solu- tions to alleviate our tra c issues and commit the funds needed to provide necessary improvements to our roads and complete promised projects.
I have had the honor of serving on the Hutto City Council for over two years. During this time, we have had three city managers, four chief nancial o cers, three police chiefs and three city secretaries. It is time for sta- bility in city hall. I am currently participating in the strategic planning sessions that will be used to set our next budget and goals for our current leadership.
