Rep. Bill Frank Runs for Re-Election
Representative Bill Frank of Underhill has announced he will seek re-election to the Vermont House of Representatives. Bill currently holds one of the two seats in the Chittenden-8 district, representing the three towns of Underhill, Jericho and Bolton.
Bill has served in the House for three terms. He is a member of the House Human Services committee and is proud of the work he and the committee have accomplished in the last six years, including the Palliative Care bill that expanded access to palliative care services for children and adults in Vermont. Additionally, he is a member of the Building Bright Futures State Council and the Tobacco Evaluation Oversight Committee. Other legislative appointments include the Health Access Oversight Committee, Chair of an End-of-Life Care, Palliative Care, and Pain Management Study Committee, the Advisory Committee for the Implementation of the Vermont Prescription Monitoring Program, the Advance Directive Registry Project, and the Long Term Care Sustainability Task Force.
“I consider it a tremendous honor to serve the towns of Jericho, Underhill and Bolton in the legislature. I have worked diligently on issues that impact adults, children and families and know that my work this summer and fall will help bring legislative attention to issues that need additional exploration,” Bill said when reflecting on his legislative service. “Over the last six years, it has been my goal to share with constituents information on the work being done in the Statehouse through a regular column in the Mountain Gazette, evening meetings at the Deborah Rawson Memorial Library, through email updates and on my website at www.RepBillFrank.com. I am always appreciative of the feedback I receive from these communications, and I look forward to visiting with area residents this fall to hear their concerns, answer questions, and share my thoughts.”
Bill was a long time school board member, serving both the Underhill ID and Chittenden East districts and on the Board of Directors for Pine Ridge School in Williston. He is also a board member of the Essex Meals on Wheels and a Vietnam-era veteran.
Bill lives on Poker Hill Road in Underhill with his wife Bev. He can be reached via e-mail at Bill@RepBillFrank.com or by phone at 899-3136.
