The Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee, Barney Frank represents the Fourth Congressional District of Massachusetts.

Although he is widely recognized for his work on national issues, Congressman Frank has also worked hard for his Massachusetts constituents. He has fought for affordable rental housing, to bring a commuter rail to the south coast, for New Bedford fishermen, and has supported many local organizations and businesses.
