Frank DuVal Hargrove, Sr. (born January 13, 1927) is an American politician. From 1982 to 2010 he served in the Virginia House of Delegates, representing the 55th district in the northeast suburbs of Richmond, in and around Hanover County.[2]
On January 26, 2009, Hargrove announced that he would not run for reelection.[3]
Death penalty
Hargrove supported expansion of the death penalty early in his career. At one point, he proposed a return to public hangings as a way to increase the value of the death penalty as a deterrent.[4] Beginning in 2001, he began introducing annual bills to abolish or restrict the death penalty, saying that life without parole was a sufficient and cheaper alternative.[5]
