About Mayor Quentin Hart

---

Mayor Quentin Hart was born and raised on the Northside of Waterloo, grounded in the values of hard work and community service. His father dedicated 33 years to John Deere, while his mother gave more than 30 years of service at Allen Hospital. Quentin once calculated that in those three decades, his mother crossed the street to and from work over 19,000 times. That simple act reflects what families in Waterloo have always done—showing up, day after day, for their loved ones and for their community.

Inspired by that same faith and perseverance, Quentin pursued higher education and earned his Master’s degree. He went on to dedicate 15 years to Hawkeye Community College, helping students achieve their dreams. Those same values—discipline, strength, and service—later called him to public leadership.

Today, as Mayor of his hometown, Quentin Hart leads Waterloo with that same spirit. Under his guidance, the city is not only recovering from the global pandemic but growing stronger, more united, and ready to move FORWARD TOGETHER.
