Anne Valerie Craine (30 April 1954) JP MHK is currently the Minister of Education and Member of the House of Keys for Ramsey. She was elected at the 2003 by-election. Before entering Tynwald she was a member of the Board of Education and the Manx Heritage Foundation. She is also the daughter of Sir Charles Kerruish, former President of Tynwald.

In the recent General Election on the Island, Anne Craine topped the poll for the constituency of Ramsey. Anne Craine won 1969 votes and Allan Bell claimed the second seat in the town with 1768 votes. After only being an Member of the House of Keys for three years she saw off tough competition from Leonard Singer who resigned as a member of the Legislative Council to try and stand but was unsuccessful with 1621 votes and now has no position in politics on the Island. The victory was due to the hard work and commitment that Anne gives to the town and also from a clever poster campaign that saw her defeat her opponents.
