Meet Nick
Delivering Results For Our District.
My name is Nick Frentz, and I’m proud to serve as your Senator for District 18. Thanks for visiting our campaign website.
Members of my family first moved to Mankato over 150 years ago. My wife Jill and I started our own family together in North Mankato in 1989 and we feel fortunate to have raised four children here who were all enrolled in the excellent local schools. We are proud to call Minnesota “home.”
For over 30 years, I’ve enjoyed working in Mankato and volunteering to help with area students, youth sports, charity boards, non-profits, special events and more. We are all blessed to have a community that works together on so many things that improve our quality of life. I am proud to be a voice for that community at the capitol in St. Paul, and bring that spirit of collaboration with me into my legislative work.
Both our area and our state have been repeatedly recognized in the national media for being a top place to live and work. Minnesota sets a great example for this country and our district sets a great example for Minnesota. Now, more than ever, I am committed to ensuring District 18 continues to grow and prosper.
During my years in the Senate I’ve fought for climate resilience, clean energy, education, health care, transportation, public safety, agriculture, and more. I’m proud of my voting record and the work we’ve done together to help our area and its citizens.”
