About Frank
Raised in the south metro area, Frank has seen the south metro area grow, prosper, and develop into one of the most vibrant and exciting communities in the country. Key to this are the families and businesses of Highlands Ranch, the community where Frank and his wife Kim proudly make their home.
The oldest of six children, Frank is the son of Frank and Denise McNulty. Educated at J.K. Mullen High School, Frank went on to undergraduate studies at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Upon graduation from CU, Frank accepted a position in the Office of Congressman Wayne Allard. There, Frank had an opportunity to work on issues that were important to him, including veterans and civil service affairs. Most importantly, Frank met his future wife, Kim Hall, who had also traveled from her home in Colorado (Kim was raised in Greeley) to work for Congressman Allard.
Frank and Kim continued to work for Allard upon his election to the U.S. Senate. There, Frank worked with the Senator to fight for passage of the Balance Our Budget Act, a measure aimed at reducing the federal deficit and forcing the federal government to live within its means.
In 1998, Frank returned to Colorado to pursue his law degree at the University of Denver College of Law, where his studies emphasized natural resources and water law. During this time, Frank began his work at the state legislative level. His efforts — supporting job growth, limiting governmental interference and red tape, and lowering taxes — created a stronger business climate in Colorado.
Frank joined Governor Bill Owens’ administration in 2000, and served as Assistant Director for Water with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. As Assistant Director, Frank was responsible for advising on, and the development of, statewide water policy. In 2005, Frank played a significant role in drafting and advocating for passage of legislation that the Denver Post called “the most significant step toward a rational statewide water policy in the last 50 years.”
In 2006, Frank was elected to his first term in the Colorado State House of Representatives, representing House District 43, primarily consisting of the community of Highlands Ranch. During his first term in the Legislature he pressed for limited government, fiscal responsibility, common sense water policies and, perhaps most importantly of all, for mandatory minimum sentences to put those who commit violent sex offenses against children away for a long time, the first time.
Frank is an attorney by trade, and serves on the House Agriculture, Livestock and Natural Resources; Appropriations; and Transportation and Energy Committees.
