Annie Haws is a lifelong advocate, experienced attorney, and community-centered Idahoan working to protect the Idaho we love: one where families thrive, workers are respected, schools are strong, communities are safe, and our personal freedoms are honored.

A former clerk for federal judges and lead counsel for Idahoans United for Women and Families, Annie has spent her career expanding access to justice, defending constitutional rights, and safeguarding Idaho’s land, water, and public institutions.

Her work with the Nez Perce Tribe helped protect over 43,000 acres of tribal land from environmental degradation, and her advocacy has strengthened Idaho’s ballot initiative process and access-to-justice pathways.

​

As your Representative for District 16, Annie is fighting for strong public schools, affordable housing, livable wages, fair taxes, quality healthcare, responsible growth, and real protection for Idaho families. She believes the government should open doors, not create barriers—and that Idaho thrives when we invest in people, protect our freedoms, and work together to solve real problems.

Annie lives in Boise’s Winstead Park neighborhood with her husband, Mo, and their dogs, Stanley and Jac. They enjoy skiing, canoeing, cooking with family, and exploring Idaho’s public lands.
