Meet Frank Lafata, a retired union carpenter, proud husband, father, and grandfather. With decades of hands-on experience in the trades and a deep commitment to working-class values, he knows what it means to put in an honest day's work. He believes politicians have lost touch with the people they serve—and he's ready to change that. His campaign is built on the simple idea that government should work for everyday folks, not special interests. Whether it's protecting jobs, supporting families, or standing up for rural communities, Frank is ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work. He’s not a career politician—he’s one of us.

Who is Frank Lafata?

"I'm a retired skilled trades carpenter. My education comes from the trades. My education has come from a career of building classrooms and building companies, literally! I'm very proud of that."

 - Frank Lafata

 Husband

"Ive been married for 35 years. I have three kids and five grandkids. I know you can't build a strong family without a good job, good schools, and a good community.

 

"I think politicians in Lansing are failing families by making it hard for companies to grow, hard for schools to educate our kids, and hard for communities to attract families"

Neighbor

Frank is a long-time resident of Greenville.

 

“When I drive around our neighborhoods, I feel like there’s more to build. That’s why I am running for the state House seat in District 91. I want to work with farmers and business and my neighbors to build things together for the benefit of the entire district."

Builder

Frank is a retired carpenter, having worked on some of the biggest infrastructure projects in the state over his long career.

 

"People in Lansing would rather build political brands than bridges. But I’m not running for the 91st to build a legacy. I want to build roads. I want to build hospitals. I want to build schools and power plants in our district. I just want to build things. Let’s build these things together.”
