Meet Anne...
As a professionally trained researcher, for many years Rep Stava-Murray served as the “voice of the consumer” in the private sector. She learned how to ask the right questions and use the combined intelligence of people and data to create the best path forward.
In her first three terms as State Representative, Anne has voted to work towards the goals many of our district share:
To ensure Illinois takes a dramatic turn towards long-term financial stability via comprehensive reforms, which has resulted in 9 successive credit rating increases.
To secure our future, serving families and residents across all life-stages: on everything from tornado recovery to serving as the Chair on the Public Health committee.
Chosen to be featured on the cover of Time Magazine, Rep Stava-Murray started among a set of "non-traditional" candidates turned aspiring legislators who stepped up to serve in elected office at a moment when our democracy was facing a crisis.
She knows what's at stake for the people who live here - in fact, she bought the house she grew up in so she could raise her kids near family.
Anne formerly served as a Commissioner on the Naperville Board of Fire & Police, which oversees hiring and promotions for the Fire & Police departments. A co-founder of the Naperville WMA (Women’s March Action), she organized several events focused on increasing kindness & respect in our community and accountability & transparency for politicians.
Before graduating from Dartmouth College, she attended a range of public and private area schools: Scott School, The Avery Coonley School, and Benet Academy.
In her free time, Anne enjoys connecting with family & friends, painting with alcohol inks, bowling, and a wide range of craft endeavors.
““I said, ‘Somebody should do something about that.’ ... then I realized I am somebody.””
“Democracy is a VERB.”
