Thank you for visiting my website. I am a Vermont State Senator for the Addison District — Addison County, Buels Gore, Huntington, and Rochester. I was first elected in 2018, and am running for reelection in 2022. In the Senate I serve as Vice Chair of the Health & Welfare Committee and a member of the Finance Committee. 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. Feel free to subscribe to my constituent email newsletter or contact me at rhardy@leg.state.vt.us.

My very best,

Meet Ruth

Ruth is a community leader and working mother of three children. She has spent her career working for good public policy, financially stable organizations, and opportunities for everyone to participate in democracy and community.

2022 Legislative Accomplishments

The 2022 Legislative Session was monumental. We passed historic legislation, including an $8.3 billion state budget, that will have a transformational impact on every sector, region, and community in Vermont.

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 will work hard to earn all three. I did this as a school board member, and I will do the same as a state senator.
