Ward 1: Portsmouth & Newington
Anna Howard
for NH State Representative
Educator. CPA. Community Volunteer.I believe democracy depends on informed citizens and active civic engagement. I'm running for State Representative because I care deeply about justice, opportunity, and preserving the democratic values that make our communities strong. Portsmouth and Newington are special places, and I want to help protect what makes them thrive for future generations.
Engaged Citizenship
Long before I decided to run for office, I was an engaged citizen. For years, I have organized community events, participated in rallies and marches, and served as a trained peacekeeper helping ensure that public gatherings remain safe and respectful. My commitment to democracy, justice, and human rights did not begin with this campaign, it is the foundation of why I am running.
Value-Based Leadership
Leadership begins with values. Whether in the classroom, the community, or public service, I believe in leading with integrity, compassion, and a commitment to justice.
Education
Education is one of the most powerful tools we have for strengthening democracy and expanding opportunity. As an educator, I have dedicated my career to helping people learn, think critically, and make informed decisions; skills that are just as important in public service as they are in the classroom.
