Early life
Frank Mann was born in Atlanta, Georgia on May 1, 1920, and moved to Washington, D.C. as a boy. His mother was a descendant of Alexandria's historic Lee family. He graduated from McKinley Technology High School and was a 1941 graduate of George Washington University. During World War II, he served with the Seabees in the Navy and won a Bronze Star.
Politics
Mann was elected mayor of Alexandria, Virginia in 1961, and served nine years, but not consecutively. During his first two terms as mayor, Mann refused a salary, instead giving it to city employees seeking specialized training.
He left his position as mayor in 1967, and ran for the Virginia House of Delegates in 1969. He was elected to succeed Marion Galland and spent five years in the Virginia General Assembly (a part-time position) alongside conservative Democrat James M. Thompson, during which the district's numbering changed.
Mann ran for mayor again in 1976 as an Independent. He defeated Democrat Melvin Bergheim and served until 1979, when he was defeated for reelection by Charles E. Beatley (whom he had succeeded) by a nearly two to one margin. Mann never held elected office again.
Death
Mann died on April 25, 2007 of Prostate cancer at his home in old town Alexandria. He was survived by his wife of thirty two years, Anita, and two children.
