Why am I Running for Mayor?
To serve my community.
My kids are seventh-generation Pensacolians, dating back to the original land grants of the Perdido Suarez family and the Nix seafood industry. I am deeply rooted in the history of this area, and will lead our community forward while balancing progress with preservation.
My husband's parents were longtime Pensacola natives who met at the downtown USO, and his father worked on airplanes at both Eglin AFB and Pensacola NAS. I moved to Pensacola in the 1990s, after decades of coming here to visit them, and we decided to raise our children in the schools of Pensacola -- Sacred Heart, St. John's and Catholic High.
Having served on numerous local boards since the 1990s, including my most recent role as President of the City Council, I have the experience and leadership necessary to move our city forward, with your support.
How am I different than D.C. Reeves?
The Ann Plan is about putting Pensacola first—investing in neighborhoods, parks, public spaces, and youth programs, while protecting our historic character and waterfront. It focuses on smart budgeting, ending wasteful spending and subsidies, and giving residents more say in how city funds are used.
Investing in these priorities strengthens neighborhoods, creates jobs, restores our environment, and ensures every dollar serves the people—not special interests.
By restoring our bays and bayous, supporting local businesses, and creating accessible infrastructure, Ann Hill’s plan builds a thriving, affordable, and beautiful Pensacola for everyone.
