Renee Hardman is a nonprofit leader who won a December special election to represent her West Des Moines district in the Iowa Senate. Her victory blocked Republicans from restoring a supermajority in the chamber after Democrats flipped a pair of seats earlier in 2025. Renee has dedicated herself to uplifting her community through public service, and, as a city council member, she strives to create a brighter future for every resident. Now that she’s won a seat in the Iowa senate, Renee will be a strong voice for the people, fighting for increased public school funding and a lower cost of living for working Iowans.
