JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri Farm Bureau's State Political Action Committee has endorsed Bill Hardwick for election to the Missouri Senate in District 16.

Hardwick currently represents House District 121, which includes portions of Pulaski County and Fort Leonard Wood. He was first elected to the Missouri House in 2020 and recently received MOFB's 2026 "Friends of Agriculture" award.

"Missouri Farm Bureau is proud to endorse Bill Hardwick for the Missouri Senate," said Charles Bassett, Pulaski County PAC trustee. "Bill understands the challenges that rural communities face, as he experiences them firsthand at his home in Dixon. His experience as a legislator and his service as a veteran reflect his commitment to serving others. We know he will continue to be a strong advocate for agriculture and rural Missouri in the Senate."

Before serving in the Missouri Legislature, Rep. Hardwick worked as a supervisory attorney for the Department of the Army, a special assistant U.S. attorney and an assistant prosecuting attorney for Pulaski County, as well as the city prosecutor for St. Robert. He also taught as an adjunct professor in political science, business, philosophy and law. A veteran of the Missouri National Guard and U.S. Army, Hardwick served in both enlisted and officer roles, including leading combat route clearance patrols in Baghdad, Iraq, and serving as a platoon leader, company commander and battalion commander. He also serves as chairman of the Sustainable Ozark Partnership and as a commissioner on the Missouri Military Preparedness and Enhancement Commission.
