About Anna Hernandez

Councilmember Anna Hernandez stands with arms crossed in front of Phoenix City Hall, beneath the building’s striking sun sculpture. Dressed in a bold pink blazer, she exudes strength and determination, framed by the towering architecture and reflections of downtown Phoenix.

Councilwoman Anna Hernandez is proud to serve the people of Phoenix’s District 7—a place she’s called home her whole life. The daughter of Mexican immigrants and a lifelong Phoenician, Anna brings her lived experience, strong values, and deep connection to the community into her work every day.

Her path into public service is rooted in personal loss. In 2019, Anna’s younger brother, Alex, was killed by Phoenix police while experiencing a mental health crisis. Just two years later, her father passed away from COVID-19 after being forced back to work. These tragedies moved Anna to act—to fight for safety, care, and respect for all families in our city.

Before joining the City Council, Anna served as a State Senator for Arizona’s Legislative District 24. She worked on housing, mental health, reproductive rights, and community safety—always staying close to the people she represented.

In 2024, Anna was elected to represent District 7 on the Phoenix City Council. Today, she continues working alongside neighbors to bring resources into our communities, hold systems accountable, and make sure our city works for everyone.

This page is for you—to stay connected, get involved, and help shape the future of District 7.

Bienvenidxs. Let’s build a Phoenix where everyone can thrive.

🌹 Join My Team in District 7 as a Volunteer 🌹

I’m inviting you to be part of something special. If you care about justice, love connecting with people, and want to make a real impact in our neighborhoods, I’d love for you to join my team.

We’re looking for students (16+) and community members—especially folks who are bilingual—who can offer a few hours a week and are down to build something powerful together.

Let’s grow, learn, and fight for our communities side by side.
