Frank Caputo
Frank Caputo has been privileged to serve the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo since September 2021. Due to changes made by Elections Canada to the electoral boundaries, Frank will now be running in Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola.
Frank is committed to defending the most vulnerable populations among us and has authored four Private Member’s bills to protect the rights & well-being of women, children and his community from the most violent offenders. He has successfully passed a Private Member’s Bill that changes the misnomer “child pornography” to the appropriately named Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Material.
MP Caputo holds a Bachelor of Arts from Simon Fraser University and obtained a Bachelor of Laws (with distinction) from the University of Saskatchewan and a Master of Laws from the University of Alberta. After obtaining his law degrees, Frank primarily worked as a Crown Prosecutor in his hometown of Kamloops B.C. Beyond his legal career, Frank’s journey took him from the courtroom and back into the classroom where he also worked as a Professor of Law at Thompson Rivers University, teaching in the faculties of business, sociology and law.
Alongside his efforts in corrections and in the courts, Frank dedicates his energy to his local volunteer work. He is also passionate in working with his international counterparts through parliamentary associations and interparliamentary groups including Europe, NATO, UK, Japan, U.S., Israel and Italy — a country close to his family’s heart.
MP Caputo’s life is well anchored in his family, as he and his wife proudly raise three children. Their unwavering support provides him with the motivation for his dedication to public service.
