Charles William 'Bill' Frick (born December 30, 1974) is an American politician from Maryland and a member of the Democratic Party. He is one of three members of the Maryland House of Delegates from District 16, which includes parts of Bethesda, Friendship Heights, and Somerset. Frick serves on the Ways and Means Committee, Joint Committee on Federal Relations, and is the chairman of the Revenues Subcommittee.
Frick was born in Silver Spring, Maryland and attended Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. He later attended Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, earning a B.A. in political science & history, and in 2000 graduated from Harvard Law School with his Juris Doctor degree. He is a member of the bars of both Maryland and Washington, D.C., and was hired by the firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, which he continues to work for. Prior to his appointment to the House of Delegates, Frick served in volunteer positions in the local Democratic Party, including as Vice President of the District 16 Democratic Club and a member of the Montgomery County Young Democrats, and also served as chair of Montgomery County's Pedestrian Advisory Committee. He is married and has two children.
In 2007, Frick was appointed to the Maryland House of Delegates representing District 16 following the retirement of former Delegate Marilyn Goldwater. Although the Governor officially appointed him, in accord with state law the Governor was simply approving the decision of the local party organization that the previous delegate had belonged to, in this case the Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee. Frick was a dark horse candidate in the appointment process, competing with Don Mooers, a party activist and former candidate for congress, and Reggie Oldak, who had run in the district in 2006. Despite this competition and his being relatively unknown, Frick was chosen by the central committee on the first ballot. A local political blog writing of the appointment later asked, "Who the Frick is Bill?" Frick was sworn in as a member of the House of Delegates on October 2, 2007. He was appointed to the Ways and Means Committee, which oversees tax law.
