description: "Frank Joseph Kelley was an American lawyer and politician who served as the 50th attorney general of the U.S. state of Michigan. His 37-year term of office, from 1961 to 1999, made him both the youngest and oldest attorney general in the state's history, and led to his nickname as the \"Eternal General\". He won ten consecutive terms of office. He was the longest serving state attorney general in United States history, until Tom Miller of Iowa surpassed his longevity record in 2019—although Kelley still holds the record for longest continuous tenure as an attorney general. In 37 years of service as Michigan's chief law enforcement officer, he worked in concert with five Michigan governors."
