| Info | Frank Guinta (pronounced /ˈgɪn.tʌ/) (born September 26, 1970) is the current mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire. A Republican, he defeated three-term incumbent Robert A. Baines, a Democrat, in the November 8, 2005 non-partisan election. He ran with an agenda of lowering taxes, reducing the crime rate in Manchester, and improving the performance of the city’s schools.
In Manchester, the mayor serves as ex officio chair of the city’s board of school committee. The position has a two-year term. He was inaugurated Tuesday, January 3, 2006, at Manchester's Palace Theatre. [1]
Guinta, the son of Richard and Virginia Guinta, was born in Edison, New Jersey on September 26, 1970, where he attended public school until the age of 12, when his family moved to Skillman, New Jersey. In his final two years of high school, he attended Canterbury, a Catholic boarding school in New Milford, Connecticut. He went on to attend Assumption College, a private, four-year liberal arts college in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he met his wife, Morgan in his senior year.
After they married, they moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where Guinta worked for Travelers Insurance.
In the fall of 1999, he started attending Franklin Pierce Law Center in New Hampshire, where he earned a Master’s Degree in Intellectual Property.
On November 7, 2000, just five months after graduation, he was elected to a seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, representing Manchester. He was reelected November 5, 2002.
On November 6, 2001, Guinta was elected Alderman representing Manchester’s Ward 3. He was reelected to that office on November 4, 2003.
In 2004, he resigned his House seat to take a position as senior policy advisor to Congressman Jeb Bradley, a job which he held until March, 2005, when he left to run for mayor of Manchester on a full-time basis.
Guinta has volunteered on several boards and commissions in Manchester, including Manchester Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc., Intown Manchester, Inc., SEE Science Center, Hands Across the Merrimack, Inc. and A Way To A Better Living, Inc. He also spends time managing rental properties in Manchester and focusing on the interests of Manchester citizens in determining the vision for this great city.
In 2001 Guinta and his wife, Morgan were honored in the first year of The New Hampshire Union Leader's “40 Under Forty” program. They are the only husband and wife to be so honored by the newspaper.
Guinta has two young children, Colby, 2, and Jack, 1, and a poodle named Abbey. Frank is an avid skier, and enjoys skiing the state's North Country slopes.
