Frank for 6B01

Ward 6 is the fastest-growing Ward in Washington, DC. From Hill East to Southwest, the community has grown rapidly and continues to change.

Frank and his family were part of that growth when they joined the Ward 6 community in late 2018, first in Southwest Waterfront neighborhood and today in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Frank is an active neighbor in the Ward who in his short time has helped to develop new programs and partnerships to better inform, engage, and channel the energy of neighbors to solutions important for the neighborhood. He combines his past experience in local, state, and national non-profit and government organizations to help solve hyper-local issues.

He currently serves as the 6B01 Resident Member on the Transportation Committee and actively collaborates with a number of Commissioners.

Key Issues

Safe Streets: Safe, walkable communities especially around our parks, daycares, and schools.

Vibrant Parks: Keeping our parks healthy, well-maintained, and advocating for long-term local control.

Partnering with Businesses: Working together with local businesses and neighbors to both keep our nearby businesses thriving while maintaining clean streets.

Helping the Unhoused: Connecting our unhoused neighbors with the resources they need to get back on their feet.

Community Engagement: As an ANC immediately adjacent to Capitol Hill, it’s critical neighbors know what is happening as quickly as possible. I’ll work to create platforms that increase awareness and neighbor input on issues impacting residents.

What is an ANC again?

Advisory Neighborhood Commissions are non-partisan, neighborhood bodies made up of locally elected representatives called Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners.

Each Commissioner represents a Single Member District (SMD) made up of roughly 2000 residents after the 2020 census in a neighborhood.

ANC serve as the official voice in advising the District government and Federal agencies on issues that impact their neighborhoods. Although they are not required to follow the ANCs' advice, District agencies are required to give the ANCs' recommendations "great weight."

In other instances, District law says that agencies cannot take any action that will significantly affect a neighborhood unless they give the affected ANCs 30 days advance notice. This includes zoning, streets, recreation, education, social services, sanitation, planning, safety, budget, and health services.
