About Tara Hallmark

My parents met while working at NASA in Huntsville, Alabama. I was born in Texas and raised in San Antonio, where I cultivated a strong-willed determination to carve my own path. After graduating from Oliver Wendell Holmes High School, I proudly enlisted in the U.S. Navy, becoming the first woman in my family to serve in the military. Following my honorable discharge, I transitioned into the role of a traditional military spouse. Currently, I am a veteran's wife, a homeowner, and the owner of a peach orchard in rural Pulaski County, just outside of Dixon. While I aspire to patent a unique peach variety in the future, my immediate focus is on contributing positively to my community.

Experience

I'm excited to share that I've got decades of experience in government employment.

Teamwork and love of public service has provided accolades and expectations from our representatives.

Values & Vision

I believe in home—and that means safety, security, and opportunity for every neighbor.

My values come from faith, service, and family: love thy neighbor, leave the world better for the next generation, and speak up for what's right.

I stand for:

Fair wages and fair taxation
Clean air and water
Strong support for veterans and military families
Investing in local communities, not just surviving but thriving
Equality and dignity for all people
Strengthen our Public schools systems
Ensure access to healthcare for residents of house district 124.

I'm fighting for the folks who get talked over and left behind—working families, retirees, disabled Americans, and anyone who's tired of playing by the rules only to get squeezed harder every year

Why I'm Running

I want to represent Missouri House District 124, serving the people of Miller and Pulaski Counties.

I've seen what happens when people are forgotten or under-served. I've also seen the power of communities that come together to rebuild, to help, and to grow.

I want to be your voice in Jefferson II want to be your voice in Jefferson City.

As your representative, I will be your advocate in the fight against corporate handouts, ensuring that the voices of our community are heard in Jefferson City.
