About Kristi Hardy

Kristi Hardy is a dedicated community leader, business owner, and advocate with deep roots in Kuna, Idaho. A 30-year Idahoan, she and her husband, Ryan, planted their family in Kuna 15 years ago, building both a life and a business that reflect their commitment to the community. As the owner of Cinderella Dress Rentals on Main Street, Kristi has created a boutique that provides affordable, modest formal wear for young women. Her passion for service extends beyond her storefront, with an online presence that keeps her engaged year-round.

A mother of four and a devoted volunteer, Kristina has spent decades championing education and youth development. Her early career as a preschool educator, including founding Hardy House Preschool, laid the groundwork for her later advocacy efforts. She has been a driving force in local education policy, serving on multiple advisory committees and leading initiatives such as Kuna School District Parents for Secondary Students Back to Full Time. Her leadership helped return secondary students to full-time learning post-COVID, benefiting countless families.

Kristi’s passion for preserving family values and parental rights in education led her to establish Parents for Policy Change in 2022. Through this group, she collaborates with educators, trustees, and legislators to enact meaningful policy improvements. Recognized for her dedication, she was named Kuna High School Volunteer of the Year in 2021-22 and received the Kuna School District Kuna Way Award in 2022.

An active Republican and committed Christian, Kristi’s interests extend to Idaho politics, where she closely follows legislation and supports lawmakers in their efforts. Whether volunteering in schools, organizing community initiatives, or enjoying outdoor adventures like skiing and paddle-boarding, she brings energy, passion, and a solutions-driven mindset to everything she does.
