Gutiérrez was born in Chicago, was educated at Northeastern Illinois University, and was a teacher, cab driver, social worker with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and a member of the Chicago Board of Aldermen before entering the House. Of Puerto Rican descent, he is a supporter of Puerto Rican independence (although not necessarily of the Puerto Rican Independence Party, PIP), the Vieques movement, and other progressive causes.
