Fannie Dunn was elected to be the Burleigh County, North Dakota Superintendent of Schools in 1898 and 1900. In 1936, she was a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Dunn was a doctor who was actively involved in working against tuberculosis. She helped establish the North Dakota Anti-Tuberculosis Association and served as its secretary. In 1908, she addressed county superintendents to get education about tuberculosis in schools, and was involved in public health education in other ways as well. Dunn married in 1903 and changed her name to "Fannie Dunn Quain." Although her name is "Fannie Dunn" for her political campaigns, many resources about her tuberculosis work refer to her by her married name.
