Frank LaGrotta is an American politician from Ellwood City, Pennsylvania. A Democrat, he served ten terms as the state representative from the 10th District, from 1987 to 2006; he ran for re-election for an eleventh term, but was defeated in the primary for the 2006 election.

Personal life

An alumnus of the University of Notre Dame, LaGrotta was first elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1986, when he defeated Jim Gerlach, who today is a U.S. Representative. After losing the 2006 race, LaGrotta was appointed to fill a vacant seat on the Lawrence County Housing Authority. He resigned this position in October of 2007.

Indictment

On November 14, 2007, LaGrotta was arraigned in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on two corruption-related felony charges, following the Attorney General's investigation into the 2006 bonus scandal.
