Frank Fletcher Hamilton was a Progressive Conservative member of the House of Commons through 4 separate successful elections (1972-1984). He represented the federal riding of Swift Current—Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau led a minority. The 29th Canadian Parliament was in session from January 4, 1973 until May 9, 1974. The 30th Canadian Parliament was in session from September 30, 1974 until March 26, 1979. The 31st Canadian Parliament was a briefly-lived parliament in session from October 9 until December 14, 1979 under the leadership of a Progressive Conservative minority and Prime Minister Joe Clark. The 32nd Canadian Parliament was in session from April 14, 1980 until July 9, 1984 and was controlled by a Liberal Party majority, led first by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and the 22nd Canadian Ministry, and then by Prime Minister John Turner.

He began his venture into politics in 1945 by representing the Progressive Conservative in the Canadian federal election, 1945 and the Canadian federal election, 1953. He was defeated both times. Both Wood Mountain and Assiniboia (respectively) are historical federal electoral districts of Canada.
