Biography

Representative Frank Guinta holds a Bachelors Degree from Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts.  He earned his Master’s Degree in Intellectual Property at Franklin Pierce Law Center (now the University Of New Hampshire School Of Law) in Concord.

Congressman Guinta serves on the Financial Services Committee and sits on the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Financial Credit and the Subcommittee on International Monetary Policy and Trade.  Job creation is his top priority; his ongoing “Getting Granite Staters Back to Work” jobs initiative has hosted multiple job fairs, roundtable meetings with job creators and other special events aimed at encouraging small businesses to grow and expand their payrolls.  On Capitol Hill, he is actively involved in promoting legislation that will foster a positive, pro-jobs economic environment, keep taxes low and stop the federal government’s intrusion into our lives.  

As the father of two young children, education is an especially important issue for Congressman Guinta.  He has visited dozens of New Hampshire schools and universities.  In Washington, he has worked hard for legislation that prepares children for the future and recognizes education is critical to the economic well-being of our country and the future prosperity of our children.  To accomplish this goal, he believes we need to reduce the federal government’s role in the classroom and encourage parental involvement to help children succeed.

Representative Guinta has received many awards for his legislative work in the short time he has served in Washington.  He received the Associated Builders and Contractors Free Enterprise Legislator of the Year Award for his work for free enterprise and open competition, the 60 Plus Association Award and the 2011 Standing Up for America’s Senior’s Award for fighting to protect and preserve Social Security and Medicare, the Champion of Healthcare Innovation Award from the Healthcare Leadership Council and the 100% Pro Worker Award from the Competitive Enterprise Institute for protecting workers’ freedoms and the 2011 Spirit of Enterprise Award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for his pro-jobs voting record.

Prior to being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010, he served two terms as a city alderman, two terms as a state representative, and two terms as mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire’s largest city.  He worked hard to give Manchester residents their first tax cut in a decade, cut borrowing by 50% and instituted the city’s first spending cap. 

Congressman Guinta and his wife, Morgan, live in Manchester with their daughter Colby, age eight, and son Jack, age six.
