Mayor Little is an [[attorney]] specializing in immigration law. She is a member of the New Jersey and [[Pennsylvania]] Bars and is admitted to practice before United States District Courts.

 +
== Political experience ==
 +
Anna C. Little was elected to the Highlands Borough Council in 2002 and re-elected in 2005.
 +
 
 +
On February 25, 2006, she was placed on the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, to fill out an unexpired term of another officeholder who had been elected to the State Assembly. She resigned her position on the Highlands Borough Council to devote full time to the Freeholder office. She was elected in November 2006 to serve out the unexpired term.

 +
In 2007, after Highlands Mayor Richard O'Neill declined to run for another term of office, Little was placed on the ballot and elected Mayor in November of that year. In 2008 she resigned her Freeholder position after she had taken office as Mayor.
 +
 
 +
== Congressional campaign ==

She made immediate overtures to various [[Tea Party Movement]] groups, including the Bayshore Tea Party (which continues to supply the bulk of her volunteer corps) and the Morristown Tea Party.
