He began his public service as a City Councilman for Rancho Cucamonga, California.
After redistricting, incumbent Republican State Assemblyman Bill Leonard decided to retire in order to run for a seat on the California Board of Equalization. Dutton decided to run in the vacant California's 63rd State Assembly district and won the Republican primary with 45% of the vote in a three candidate field. He won the general election by defeating Democrat nominee Donna Wallace 61%-39%.
