Rita Hart (born May 5, 1956) is a former state senator from Iowa's 49th district. A liberal Democrat, she ran for United States House of Representatives in the 2020 elections following the announced retirement of seven-term left-wing congressman Dave Loebsack. After at least one recount she pushed for, it was announced that she lost to Republican opponent Mariannette Miller-Meeks by merely six votes, and currently is attempting to steal the race.

Following Loebsack's announcement in April 2019 that he would retire rather than seek re-election,[1] Hart declared a month later her bid for the seat, and received the representative's endorsement.[Citation Needed] She won the Democrat primary uncontested.[2]
