In 1954, Fraser was elected to the Minnesota State Senate and served for eight years ending in 1962 when he gained an office in the United States House of Representatives serving Minnesota's Fifth District. He served there from January 3, 1963 until January 3, 1979 and was was succeeded by Martin Sabo. Fraser went on to serve as mayor of Minneapolis later that year, taking office on January 1, 1980. His first mayoral term was two years in length, and he was re-elected to two four-year terms after that, making him the longest-serving mayor in Minneapolis history. Fraser left office on December 31, 1993, succeeded by the city's first female and first African-American mayor, Sharon Sayles Belton.

DonaldFraser arrived in Malawi at the end of 1896, and was posted first to Ekwendeni, where he worked until 1900, when he returned to Scotland on leave.
Fraser was not deliberately creating a Christianized incwala; but what is likely is that there were enough similarities in the traditional and Christian celebrations for the conventions to strike a note of responsiveness in the Ngoni who attended them.
To the extent that Fraser's scheme was not adopted by presbytery in the early years of the century, and therefore was not officially recognised by the church, it may be said to have failed.
Children at DonaldFraser Memorial School are encouraged to develop as individuals, emotionally, physically and intellectually, to their greatest potential.
DonaldFraser is a K through 5 school which serves the Plaster Rock and surrounding area.
The school takes its name from the founder of the community, DonaldFraser Sr, whose sawmill was, and still is, the major employer for the town.
