ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Ann has pledged to serve a cause greater than oneself by standing on common sense conservative principles, confronting injustice and serving as a voice for the most vulnerable in our society. From protecting the unborn, to standing up for our military men and women to making things just a little easier for that single mother of two in Ballwin, she has undertaken an aggressive legislative agenda during her time in Congress. Ann believes in service. Service to her community and service to her country. And that is why she has worked at every step to serve as a voice for her constituents and turn Missouri priorities into real solutions that benefit families from the Second Congressional District.
2005-2009: Ambassador to Luxembourg
In 2005, following nomination by President Bush and confirmation by the U.S. Senate, Ann was sworn in as the 19th United States Ambassador to Luxembourg by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. She served her country as an Ambassador for four years during which time she assisted in international operations to combat global human trafficking and investigate sources of terrorist financing.
1999-2005: Chair of the State Party
During Ann’s time as Chair of the Missouri Republican Party, Republicans took back control of the Missouri House and Senate for the first time in nearly half of a century. Under Ann’s leadership and through her tireless efforts, these historic Republican gains have led to the current supermajorities that Republicans hold in the Missouri House and Senate.
1996-2005 Lafayette Township Committeewoman
Ann’s service to the St. Louis community truly began at the grassroots level. She served for nine years as a local committeewoman in Lafayette Township, which is located in west St. Louis County. During this time, she engaged in direct voter-to-voter contact, fought for the priorities of her friends and neighbors and assisted conservative candidates running for office at every level of government.
