Frank P. Belotti (January 3, 1898 – November 30, 1972) was a Republican California State Assemblyman from 1951 to 1972. Due to redistricting, he represented both the 1st and 2nd Assembly districts over his career. A bridge, two parts of Route 101, and the main hall of the Humboldt County Fairgrounds are named for him.
Early years
Belotti studied at a business college in Massachusetts and earned two business degrees in Valparaiso, Indiana. He moved to California in 1924 and worked as a telegraph operator until 1926, when he became a mink rancher near Eureka, California.
Political career
Belotti served as a member of the California State Assembly from 1951 until his death in office in 1972. From 1951 to 1962, Belotti's 1st District included Del Norte, Humboldt and Mendocino counties when Lake County was added to the district.
In 1966 reapportionment resulted in Belotti representing the 2nd District, which included parts of Humboldt, Mendocino and Sonoma counties. Belotti sponsored legislation related to North Coast issues of access, water, harbors, logging, lumber, agriculture and conservation.
Belotti worked for and secured legislation to preserve the Avenue of the Giants during the Highway 101 freeway bypass of the redwood groves.
