Welcome, Anna Pingel!
Meet Anna below.
Anna Pingel is an experienced researcher, commentator, and legislative engagement strategist, and has spent much of her career shaping policy either in the nonprofit or legislative space. A graduate of Covenant College with a degree in International Studies and Spanish, she spent time employed in an immigration law firm in New York before moving to Washington, D.C., to focus on shaping policy solutions.
After working for a Member of Congress, she expanded her legislative experience to the state level, working as the Chief of Staff for a Maryland State Delegate. She was a 2019 Foreign Policy Fellow for the National Churchill Library and Center, authoring a report on the dangers Iran poses to the international community and policy solutions to contain its threat. Anna has been published in several media outlets, including the Washington Examiner, the American Spectator, and Evie Magazine.
Anna owns an art gallery, Maison Conservartiste, which she opened as an alternative art market for conservative investors. She is an artist herself, focusing on abstract works that reflect her personal faith and belief system. She believes in the strength of parallel economies and in the richness of uplifting artwork. Her art has been displayed around Washington, D.C., and was included in a collection at the Secretary of Education’s office.
Anna is a native of Bel Air, Maryland, and currently lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and son. In her free time, she enjoys painting, hiking, cooking, and competitive shooting.
