Vicky Jo Hartzler (née Zellmer; October 13, 1960) is an American politician who currently serves as the incumbent U.S. Representative for Missouri's 4th congressional district. The district comprises a large swath of the western-central part of the state, anchored in Columbia to the eastern and southern Kansas City suburbs, including a small portion of Kansas City itself. The district also includes the cities of Sedalia, Warrensburg, Moberly, and Lebanon. The district takes in Ft. Leonard Wood in Pulaski County, Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, and the University of Missouri (Mizzou).
Prior to her election to Congress, Hartzler represented District 124 in the Missouri House of Representatives from 1995 to 2000.
Hartzler was raised on a farm near Archie, a rural community south of Kansas City. She attended the University of Missouri where she graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Education, and attended University of Central Missouri where she graduated with an M.S. in Education.[1]
Before running for State Representative in 1994, Hartzler taught high school home economics (now commonly referred to as family and consumer sciences) for 11 years. Her accomplishments included leadership on legislation facilitating the adoption process. Hartzler left the Missouri House of Representatives in 2000 after adopting a baby daughter.
