Protecting our border is a national security priority. Frank believes in a safe, secure, and humane approach to secure our national border. Our district is home to an international port of entry, and families across our region have seen the devastating impacts of illegal opioids in our community. While serving as North Township Trustee, one of Frank’s responsibilities was burials for those who lost the struggle with addiction. In his last month as Trustee, over a dozen people died because of a bad batch drugs; heroin laced with fentanyl.

Frank has consistently advocated for increased border security agents, modernized technology, and resources to address drug and human trafficking at our border.
