Ann Marie Buerkle (/ˈbɜːrkəl/BUR-kəl; née Colella;[2] born May 8, 1951) is an American nurse, attorney, and politician. She served as a commissioner of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) beginning in July 2013 and was the agency's acting chairman from February 2017 to September 2019.[3][4] During her tenure, the number of companies fined declined sharply, and she was criticized by consumer advocates.[4][5] Buerkle’s public service career stalled after accusations of mismanagement and incompetence. Buerkle was an Assistant New York State Attorney General from 1997 through 2010. She served as the U.S. representative for the New York's 25th congressional district, elected in 2010 in an upset of a Democratic incumbent. In a rematch of her 2010 contest, Buerkle was defeated by former Congressman Dan Maffei.[6] She is a member of the Republican Party.
