John H. Frey (born in Greenwich, Connecticut, on February 8, 1963) is an American Real Estate Broker, businessman and politician.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Zillow )〕 A member of the Republican Party, he is the State Representative from the 111th District (Ridgefield, Connecticut), first elected in 1998.〔(Biography of John Frey ), Century 21 Landmark Properties〕 In the 2004 election, Frey won with 68.7% of the vote and was the highest vote-getter in the 151-member Connecticut House of Representatives. In 2008, he received nearly 3,000 more votes than his opponent〔(11/04/2008-General Election Results for State Representative (PDF) ), page 41〕 and garnered the most votes of any contested House candidates. In 2010, he was elected to his seventh term in an election where he garnered 70% of the vote against his Democratic challenger. Serving in his seventh term as Ridgefield’s chief advocate in Hartford, Frey was re-appointed by the House Minority Leader Larry Cafero to serve as Republican Whip. He serves on the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee; the Bank Committee and the Aging Committee, where he is the ranking Republican member. He also serves on the state Aging Commission. Frey has supported measures to improve education for students at all grade levels, to protect benefits of seniors and Veterans residing in Connecticut, to preserve consumers’ rights, to reform state government, and to secure pristine areas of open space. Frey has also been instrumental in securing state aid for local projects in Ridgefield, including the Ridgefield Playhouse, school construction and improvements, the Ridgefield Veterans Community Center, the Aldrich Museum, Tiger Hollow and the Ridgefield Boys & Girls Club. He is largely credited for gaining funding for the Bennetts Pond State Park. In February 2008, the State Bond Commission approved $3.25 million to fund 12 unit expansion of Ballard Green senior housing and rehabilitation of 120 units of affordable and senior housing in Ridgefield. Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell thanks Rep. John Frey for his perseverance in advocating for funding for the project. In October 2008, he secured an additional $640,000 to cover unanticipated funding shortfalls. Before winning election to the state House of Representatives, former Governor John G. Rowland appointed Frey Chairman of the Connecticut Real Estate Commission in 1995, holding the distinct honor as the commission’s youngest Chairman in state history. Representative Frey was also appointed ‘government representative’ for the University of Connecticut Business School Center for Real Estate and Economic Studies, a position he still holds. In June 2008, he was appointed by President George W. Bush to the President's Commission on White House Fellows.〔(Ridgefield Republican Town Committee ) - "Rep.
