About

Leader.

Fighter.

Bridge-builder.

For more than four decades, Frank Aguilar has been a tireless advocate for others, bringing meaningful change to communities. He brings that same passion for service to his new role as Cook County Commissioner for the 16th District.

Throughout his life, Frank has focused on serving others. From fighting for workers’ rights with the Allied Production Workers Union to supporting small businesses while leading the Little Village Chamber of Commerce, creating opportunities while serving on the Morton College Board to passing legislation to support dozens of communities as a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, Frank has always looked for opportunities where he can make a difference, especially for those less fortunate.

Born in Chicago and raised in Cicero, Frank is a graduate of Gordon Tech High School, Loyola University and Roosevelt University. He has also studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Mexico. He also served as Director of Community Affairs and Special Projects for the Town of Cicero.

“When you are in a position to help people and you make things happen for them, it is an incredibly rewarding feeling.”
