He was elected to three terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly, serving from 1927 to 1933, and during this time, authored the Forest Crop law.

A son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Vaclav Fronek, he was born May 11, 1883, in Czechoslovakia. At the age of four, he came to this country with his parents, and the family settled in Coal City, Ill.
