Frank J. Olivo is alderman of the 13th ward, Chicago.
Olivo grew up in Chicago; he attended St. Mary Star of the Sea grammar school and Hubbard High School.
As Alderman of the 13th ward, Olivo co-founded the Graffeti Removal Program designed to combat crime, and the Real Estate Anti-Solicitation Program to protect the value of homes. Olivo serves on seven committees: Aviation; Budget and Government Operations; Committees, Rules, and Ethics; Finance; License and Consumer Protection; Traffic Control and Safety, and Zoning.
Alderman Olivo lives in the West Lawn Community with his wife, Karen and their three children: Frank, Dana, and Anthony.
Olivo, who was plucked from the stands during a Philadelphia Eagles game to play Santa at halftime (since the original Santa couldn't attend the game because of weather conditions and Olivo happened to be wearing a Santa costume), was unmercilessly pelted with snowballs.
