Dave Hinman is an American politician serving in the Missouri House of Representatives. He won his first election from district 103 in 2022.
Hinman was born in Alabama and grew up in Iowa. He graduated from Iowa State University with a bachelor's degree in Hotel, Restaurant, and Institution Management.[1]
Hinman worked for the QuikTrip corporation for 35 years. He also has a family farm.[2]
Hinman was elected alderman of O'Fallon city council ward 1 in 2001. He was elected President Pro Tempore, and also served on the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Fire Protection District board of directors, and as president of the St. Charles County Municipal League. He is a member of the O'Fallon Elks Lodge and Knights of Columbus.
Hinman consulted with Axiom Strategies for his 2022 campaign.
In 2024, Hinman sponsored a bill to eliminate an approval process for child labor in Missouri. The existing process requires children ages 14 and 15 to have work roles and hours approved through a certificate signed by their school and the department of labor to ensure that conditions are not hazardous or conflict with student educational needs. Hinman initially filed the bill because a restaurant in his district had difficulty staffing later hours, however federal law does not allow children under 16 to work after 7pm.[3]
