Anne Margaret Main (born 17 May 1957) is a Conservative Party politician in Britain. She was elected at the 2005 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for St Albans, defeating the Labour incumbent Kerry Pollard, and was re-elected in 2010 and 2015.
Main was born in Cardiff, Wales. She went to the Bishop of Llandaff Church in Wales High School in Rookwood Close in Llandaff, Cardiff. She read English at Swansea University obtaining a BA Hons, where she met her first husband, Stephen. She then obtained a PGCE from Sheffield University. She moved to the London area and taught English and drama at an inner London comprehensive school.
Main's political career began in 1999 when she became a town councillor in Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire. She also served on South Bucks Council from 2001. In May 2005, she was elected as the Member of Parliament for St Albans.
On 13 August 2009, the local St Albans conservative association voted by a large margin (140 to 20 according to some sources) to keep her as its candidate for the forthcoming general election, which had to be held before 3 June 2010. The local party vote was the consequence of a deselection bid, led by the association's chairwoman, in connection with public criticism over her parliamentary expenses.
