Tuttle ran against senator Patrick Leahy in the Vermont senate elections. He lost in a landslide to Leahy. Tuttle was described by Senator Leahy as "the distilled essence of Vermonthood". He was thought by many to be an example of the "everyman".
Tuttle died of a heart attack in his farm in Tunbridge, Vermont at the age of 84.[1][2][3]
