Frank Guinta is the current mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire, the largest city in Northern New England. A Republican, Guinta bucked state and national trends by defeating a three-term Democrat incumbent in Robert Baines, in the November 8, 2005 election. Guinta ran and won with a consistent message of lowering taxes and reducing the crime rate.

After delivering on his promises by reducing violent crime and delivering the first tax cut this decade, Guinta once again bucked trends and was re-elected November 6, 2007, by defeating Democrat Thomas Donovan, a former school board member.

On November 7, 2000, he was elected to a seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, representing Manchester. He was re-elected 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 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. In addition, Business NH Magazine cited Frank as an "intriguing leader" in its January 2006, "Powerful People" issue and, in January 2007, named him one of the 10 most powerful people in New Hampshire.

Guinta and his wife Morgan have two children, Colby and Jack. He is a graduate of Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts and earned a masters’ degree in Intellectual Property from Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, New Hampshire.
