Serving in Congress from 1981-2012, Frank has been a leader in the fight against discrimination, championed civil rights and financial reform, and was an architect of the financial regulations aimed at preventing a recurrence of the financial crisis.
In 1987, he became the first member of Congress to voluntarily come out as openly gay, and in 2012, he married his longtime partner, becoming the nation’s first Congressman in a same-sex marriage while in office.
While in Royal Oak, Frank will give a nod to Peters (D-MI 14), who announced in May that he will run for Carl Levin's senate seat. Levin is retiring.
