Nita Rusich Hutter (born October 29, 1949) is a community college administrator from New Orleans, Louisiana, who is a Republican former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from District 104 in nearby Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish.
A New Orleans native, Hutter graduated in 1974 from the Roman Catholic-affiliated Loyola University in New Orleans. In 1978, she received a Master of Education degree from Tulane University, also in New Orleans. Hutter is a former teacher in St. Bernard Parish and is employed at Delgado Community College. She is divorced and the mother of one son.
Term-limited in the House, Hutter was defeated in a race for the District 1 seat in the Louisiana State Senate in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 22, 2011. The Senate district includes all of Plaquemines Parish and parts of St. Bernard, St. Tammany, and Orleans parishes. She lost to the incumbent Republican senator, A. G. Crowe of Pearl River in St. Tammany Parish, who received 15,717 votes (69.1 percent), compared to her 7,025 ballots (30.9 percent).
With exposure as a parish council member, Hutter was sufficiently well known that she was unopposed in 1999 for her first term in the state House. To win her second term in the House in 2003, she defeated another Republican, Mike Bayham, 8,839 (61 percent) to 5,667 (39 percent). In 2007, Hutter prevailed over a Democrat, Stacy Riley, Sr., 4,120 (69.5 percent) to 1,812 (30.6 percent).
