Frank Tracy Wall (March 5, 1908 – March 25, 1998) was an American dairy farmer and politician who served in the Mississippi House of Representatives.[1] Elected three times from Amite County, he was a member of the local Farm Bureau and white supremacist Citizens' Council.[2]

Election history

Wall was elected in 1951 and 1955 alongside T. F. Badon and Britte Hughey, respectively, and was succeeded by Hughey and E. H. Hurst. In 1963, Amite was apportioned only one seat in the House, and Wall successfully challenged Hughey for the Democratic nomination.[3]
