Tim Hutchinson in Almanac of American Politics


On Principles & Values: Parents operated a Christian radio station and school

Asa Hutchinson grew up on a farm with his brother Tim who later became a senator. Their parents also operated a Christian radio station in school. After graduating from Bob Jones University, Asa Hutchinson attended the University of Arkansas law school at the same time that Bill Clinton started teaching there. He became US attorney in western Arkansas and prosecuted Clinton's half brother, Roger, for cocaine possession.

Hutchinson easily won election as Governor in 1996 to succeed his brother, who moved to the Senate. He combined a conservative voting record with a pleasant demeanor to become an important player in a short time.
