Kim Dexter Hendren (born February 6, 1938) is a Republican currently serving in the State House of Representatives. He was a former member of the Arkansas State Senate who served as minority leader and chairman of the Energy Committee. Term-limited, he left the Senate in January 2013. A native and resident of Gravette in Benton County in northwestern Arkansas, Hendren represented District 9, a seat now held by Bruce Holland of Greenwood in Sebastian County. He is a former Democrat in the most Republican section of his state.
In early 2017, Hendren drafted a "Bill introduced to ban Howard Zinn books from Arkansas public schools"
In 2014, Hendren, at the age of seventy-six, was elected once more to the Arkansas House of Representatives, this time in District 92 for the seat vacated by the term-limited Mary Lou Slinkard, a fellow Republican. He was unopposed in both the Republican primary and the general election. He is eligible to serve if elected every two years until January 2021.
On May 18, 2010, Hendren was defeated in the Republican primary by U.S. Representative John Boozman of Arkansas's 3rd congressional district for his party's nomination for the U.S. Senate to oppose, successfully as it developed, the incumbent Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln.
