He was a game warden, police officer, Undersheriff for Doña Ana County, Judge on the Dona Ana County Magistrate Court, and the First Gentleman of New Mexico.[1][2][3] Early life and educationFranco was born and raised in Las Cruces, New Mexico, graduating from Las Cruces High School and earning a degree in criminal justice from New Mexico State University. He has an older brother and younger sister.[4] Personal lifeFranco is married to former Governor Susana Martínez.[5] Through Franco's job as an undercover investigator, he met Martinez while she was an assistant district attorney.[6] The two married in 1991.[7] Franco has one son, Carlo, who served in the United States Navy.[8] Franco is an advocate for Horses for Heroes and the Youth Diagnostic Development Center in Albuquerque."[9] Franco is a longtime supporter of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20120423175133/http://www.weedandseed.info/docs/strategy.htm Weed and Seed] program of the Community Capacity Development Office.[10] Franco is a hunter and fisherman.[11][12] In 1995, Martinez and he changed their affiliation from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.[13][14][15][16] CareerFranco graduated from the police academy in 1978.[17] Franco has been a law enforcement officer for more than 30 years, and served as the Doña Ana County Undersheriff.[18] Franco began working in law enforcement, starting as a game warden.[19] In 1996, Franco ran for a position as Magistrate judge in Doña Ana County.[20] He won, and served for three years.[21][22] During his career, Franco has worked for "the Las Cruces Police Department, the city's Weed and Seed program and the New Mexico State University Police Department."[23] Franco was a police detective when the Las Cruces Bowling Alley massacre occurred.[24] "As part of the investigation, he had to videotape the scene."[25] In 1992, Martínez was fired by then District Attorney Greg Valdez. Valdez stated that Martínez brought in a case that Franco was working on.[26] "A potential conflict of interest between Martínez and Franco was an issue in the late 1990s, when she first became district attorney. Franco was a magistrate judge, and some cases being prosecuted by the district attorney’s office were assigned to him. Franco was running for re-election in 1996, the same year Martínez first ran for DA. His Democratic opponent and others said there would be a conflict if both were elected. But Franco and Martinez said Franco would recuse himself from all cases involving the DA’s office."[27] Franco's relationship with Martinez was twice raised as a concern when, as District Attorney, "she had to decide whether officer-involved shootings were justified."[28] Franco was a member of Martínez' search team for members of the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department.[29] Presently, Franco is a retired career cop.[30] From January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2019, he served in the role of First Gentleman of New Mexico.[31][32] New Mexico Coalition for LiteracyAdult literacy is one of three main causes to which Franco has decided to dedicate his time.[33] New Mexico Coalition for Literacy is "a cause close to his heart from his work in Las Cruces under the federally funded Weed and Seed program to help at-risk youths. There he saw firsthand how improving reading skills helped kids succeed in school."[34] Franco stated that "'supporting the New Mexico Coalition for Literacy also complements Gov. Susana Martinez' push to improve K-12 education in the state'"[35] Franco observed, while working with troubled youth, "that their issues ran beyond behavioral problems. Having parents at home who couldn't read was one of them."[36]References1. ^Dona Ana County Bids Farewell to Franco 2. ^New Mexico Elects State’s First Woman Governor {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202191634/http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/united-states/new-mexico-elects-states-first-woman-governor-48498.html |date=February 2, 2014 }} 3. ^Sheriff's department asks residents to do what they can to help curb gang violence 4. ^Dona Ana County Bids Farewell to Franco 5. ^Franco lends support to adult literacy coalition 6. ^Spotlights on NM's "First gentleman" Chuck Franco makes history 7. ^Is Susana Martinez Married? 8. ^New Mexico Elects State’s First Woman Governor {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202191634/http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/united-states/new-mexico-elects-states-first-woman-governor-48498.html |date=February 2, 2014 }} 9. ^Franco lends support to adult literacy coalition 10. ^Just Plain Chuck 11. ^Doña Ana County undersheriff to blaze new trail as governor-elect's sidekick 12. ^From bordertown neighborhood to state’s highest elected office {{webarchive|url=https://archive.is/20120721140446/http://www.abqjournalsage.com/2011/01/01/new-era-gov-susana-martinez/ |date=2012-07-21 }} 13. ^Doña Ana County undersheriff to blaze new trail as governor-elect's sidekick 14. ^A rising GOP star in Santa Fe 15. ^How to grab them 16. ^Doña Ana County undersheriff to blaze new trail as governor-elect's sidekick 17. ^Chuck Franco, The First Gentleman 18. ^New Mexico Elects State’s First Woman Governor {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202191634/http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/united-states/new-mexico-elects-states-first-woman-governor-48498.html |date=February 2, 2014 }} 19. ^Doña Ana County undersheriff to blaze new trail as governor-elect's sidekick 20. ^Martinez: I’ll make the tough – and ethical – decisions {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100212110812/http://newmexicoindependent.com/42514/martinez-i%E2%80%99ll-make-the-tough-%E2%80%93-and-ethical-%E2%80%93-decisions |date=2010-02-12 }} 21. ^Man of Respect: Undersheriff Chuck Franco 22. ^Martinez’s marriage to cop has led to conflict allegations 23. ^Susana Martinez works to prove she's ready for state's top job 24. ^20 years later, Las Cruces bowling alley murders a lingering mystery 25. ^Doña Ana County undersheriff to blaze new trail as governor-elect's sidekick 26. ^Susana Martinez works to prove she's ready for state's top job 27. ^Martinez’s marriage to cop has led to conflict allegations 28. ^Martinez’s marriage to cop has led to conflict allegations 29. ^Oil and gas industry dominates Martinez’s energy & environment search team {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121014045656/http://newmexicoindependent.com/66794/oil-and-gas-industry-dominates-martinezs-energy-environment-search-team |date=2012-10-14 }} 30. ^Just Plain Chuck 31. ^Chuck Franco, The First Gentleman 32. ^[https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/nm-governor-husband-unhurt-after-small-plane-makes-hard-landing-at-santa-fe-airport/2012/05/24/gJQAvq72mU_story.html NM governor, husband unhurt after small plane makes hard landing at Santa Fe airport] 33. ^Franco lends support to adult literacy coalition 34. ^Just Plain Chuck 35. ^Franco lends support to adult literacy coalition 36. ^Gov's husband pushing for literacy funding External links
