I’m Senator Ruth Hardy. I represent the Addison District – Addison County, Buels Gore, Huntington, and Rochester – in the Vermont State Senate. I am running for re-election to continue to serve the people & communities of the Addison District.

I am a fierce & responsive advocate for my constituents and community, fighting for smart education reform & sustainable public schools, affordable access to healthcare & childcare, financial equity & security for all Vermonters, human rights & dignity, and vibrant rural communities.

I communicate regularly, respond to constituents, help people access government services, and show up where I’m needed most. 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. Please consider a contribution to my re-election campaign.

I was first elected in 2018, and have been re-elected three times. This year, I am running alongside Hannah Sessions, a goat dairy farmer & cheesemaker from Leicester. Hannah is smart and compassionate, and we will make a great team serving the Addison District. You have two senators and two votes for senate in the Addison District. Please vote for both Ruth Hardy and Hannah Sessions! Thank you for your support.

Legislative Sessions

Each year I offer an annual summary of highlights from the legislative session. See below to dive into our past few years of work.

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.
