When Hutson first announced her candidacy back in April, she was well known to local police officials and civil rights lawyers but was far from a household name.

Hutson was born in Philadelphia but raised in Houston and graduated from Tulane University’s law school. She worked as a municipal prosecutor in Corpus Christi, Texas, as a police monitor in Austin, Texas, and finally as an inspector general monitoring the Los Angeles Police Department.

In 2010, she was selected to serve as the independent police monitor for New Orleans, which had recently created the post in the wake of incidents of police brutality after Hurricane Katrina.

Her tenure included disputes with federal police monitors and her onetime boss, former Inspector General Ed Quatrevaux, over their respective powers.

Big city sheriff is more of a policy role than kicking down doors and shooting people.
