James L. "Hutch" Hutchison Sr. (born June 20,1942) is an American politician. Hutchison served as the first full-time Mayor of Dover,Delaware from 1994 to 2004. [1] Hutchison is a member of the Republican Party. [1] However,Dover's mayoral office is officially nonpartisan.
Hutchison,a native of Dover,graduated from Dover High School in 1961. He received an associate's degree in criminal justice from Delaware Technical &Community College in 1987. [2]
Hutchison served as the police chief of Dover prior to entering politics. He held Dover's at-large city council seat from 1993 to 1994. [1]

In 2008,Hutchinson ran for the Delaware Senate in the 17th District,but lost the election to Democrat Brian Bushweller. [1]
In January 2011,Hutchison announced his candidacy for an open seat in the Dover City Council,which was being vacated by retiring City Council President Ken Hogan. [2] Hutchison won the City Council District 1 seat in the municipal election held on April 19,2011,defeating Holly Malone. [3]
In August 2011,Hutchison proposed lengthening the terms for the mayor and city council members from the current two-year term to four-years in office. Hutchison argued that the current election system,in which Dover's candidates must seek re-election every two years,is too expensive,costing the city approximately $10,000 per election. He told council that his proposal would save the city money and promote increased leadership among Dover's elected officials. Under his proposal,if enacted,the new four-year terms would be gradually phased in over a two-year period. [4]
