Frank Burns (born October 21, 1975) is a Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.[3] He represents the 72nd District, located in southwestern Cambria county. Despite Cambria County moving heavily towards Republicans, Burns has been able to fend off several challengers. Most recently, he defeated Renae Billow by a 10% margin which helped give the Democrats a majority in the chamber for the first time in over a decade.
