Thank you for visiting my website. I represent the Addison District – Addison County, Buels Gore, Huntington, and Rochester – in the Vermont State Senate. I have been a fierce and responsive advocate for my constituents and community, fighting for affordable access to healthcare & childcare, accountable government, sustainable public schools, and vibrant rural communities. I was first elected in 2018, and have been re-elected three times. I serve as a member of the Natural Resources & Energy and Finance Committees. You can visit my official legislative webpage for information about my committees, votes, and bills. I write regular updates about my work in the Senate and community. Subscribe to my constituent email newsletter or contact me at rhardy@leg.state.vt.us.

Commitments

I am asking for your support, your vote, and your trust. This is no small request, and I want you to know that I continue to work hard to earn all three. I did this as a school board member, and do the same as a state senator.
