Omari J. Hardy (born November 28, 1989) is an American politician and former member of the Florida House of Representatives from the 88th district.

[6] Hardy also accused Mayor Triolo of failing to act in the best interests of city residents, saying “We cut people’s utilities this week and made them pay — with what could have been their last check — to turn their lights off in a global health pandemic.

[10] Video of the exchange,[11] uploaded to YouTube by the Palm Beach Post, quickly gained millions of views, earning Hardy support from figures such as Shaquille O’Neale, Charlamagne tha God, and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib.

"[15] In April 2021, Hardy announced his candidacy for Florida's 20th congressional district in a special election to succeed Alcee Hastings, who had died earlier that month after a multi-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

[17] The centrist pro-Israel group Democratic Majority for Israel released campaign ads accusing Hardy of antisemitism because of his support for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions and his opposition to funding for the Iron Dome, an Israeli air defense system.
