Representative Anna V. Eskamani is an Orlando native and daughter of working-class immigrants from Iran who has committed her life to advocating in support of Florida’s hardworking families.
On November 6, 2018 Anna was elected to serve the great people of House District 47 with a vote margin of 57% to 43%, flipping a legislative seat, and becoming the first Iranian-American elected to any public office in Florida. As a lawmaker, Anna serves on four committees including Ways & Means, and has risen to be known as a fighter for Florida’s families. Prior to running for office, Representative Eskamani worked as the Senior Director of Public Affairs at our local Planned Parenthood affiliate, and yes: she is still pursuing a PhD in Public Affairs from UCF, too!
Tough, authentic and unafraid, Anna is a progressive who has proven herself as a leader who works hard, delivers results, and gets things done.
