Anne Fundner

Anne Fundner is a mother, advocate, and powerful voice for change, driven by the tragic loss of her 15-year-old son, Weston, to a single counterfeit Percocet laced with fentanyl. His story became a national call to action when she spoke at the Republican National Convention on July 16, 2024, sharing Weston’s story with millions and igniting a conversation among parents about the fentanyl crisis. One year later, she stood beside President Trump at the White House as he signed the Halt Fentanyl Act, holding Weston’s photo—a moment that solidified her mission to save lives and cemented Weston’s legacy as a symbol of fentanyl awareness.

A wife and mother of four, raised by a World War II Navy veteran who instilled in her a deep love for country, Fundner has channeled her grief into advocacy. With a background as a seasoned broadcaster in conservative TV and radio in California, she once hosted the "American Mom" podcast, fearlessly tackling family issues with solutions-oriented insight. Now, she brings that same passion to stages across the nation, speaking at the House Judiciary Committee, Trump rallies, and the Department of Justice alongside leaders like Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel. As a frequent contributor on Fox News and Newsmax and a dedicated surrogate for the Trump Campaign, Kristi Noem, the Department of Treasury, and The American Border Story, her talks on fentanyl awareness, border security, peer pressures, and Christian values resonate deeply, connecting with audiences through authenticity and faith.

Fundner founded the Forever Weston Foundation to honor her son, focusing on fentanyl awareness, youth advocacy, and the challenges kids face today. As a moderation team member of Lost Voices of Fentanyl, she supports families enduring similar losses. Her media expertise, policy knowledge, and faith-driven perspective allow her to turn local concerns into national discussions, inspiring audiences at political gatherings, community forums, and faith-based events. From testifying before Congress to speaking at DEA summits, Fundner is dedicated to driving change. Her mission is clear: to honor Weston’s memory by advocating for safer communities, stronger families, and a future where no parent endures the pain of losing a child to fentanyl.
