Meet Frank
A Native Son of Cambria County, PA
Frank was born and raised in East Taylor Township to Agnes and Bill Burns. Like many in the community, Frank learned the importance of hard work, a strong faith, and old-fashioned family values from his parents by seeing what true work ethic looks like.
As a kid, when helping out at the family restaurant, the Rosebud Inn, he saw his parents put in 12 hour days and work holidays to put food on the table for the family. For the entirety of Frank's career in public service, he heeded the advice of his father when making decisions about the community he loves and the people he serves: "never let anyone outwork you and don't let up. They can't buy your work ethic or what's in your heart. They can't buy respect or credibility — it's earned."
He never let that advice escape him, and after working in the dental care industry, providing products and services to seniors across the country, he was called to public service and was elected as a Township Supervisor in his hometown of East Taylor. From his time as a supervisor, he learned the importance of constantly learning from and listening to the constituents he served. Always having an open door and an open heart to the concerns and struggles of the community, he knew that when it came to politics, the people always come first.
Public Servant
In 2008, Frank ran for and won his first term in the state legislature. He never let up from advocating for the people of his hometown, and serves his constituents back home — even when there was pushback from special interests and party bosses on both sides of the aisle. His work in the state house has reflected the traditional, conservative values that were ingrained in him from his youth. From working for years to protect the constitutional right to bear arms, advocating for the right to life and fighting for the unborn, and standing up for our nation's veterans and law enforcement who put their life on the line to protect our freedom, he has never strayed from what the people of Cambria county want to see in a representative of the people.
Focused on Education, Healthcare and Jobs
Frank has worked to ensure that every child in the district receives a top notch education that will prepare them for the future workforce. He has fought tirelessly to lower prescription drug costs and ensure that all constituents in the district have access to affordable healthcare. Frank has fought for American workers to bring back good paying union jobs to the district.
Frank is seeking another term in the statehouse to represent the values of Cambria county, and Frank Burns continues to be the strongest advocate for our community’s issues at the state and local level.
Frank Burns will never let up on fighting for you.
