Gary Franks
Gary Alvin Franks (born February 9, 1953) is an American politician who was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Connecticut for six years, from 1991 until 1997. He is the only African-American elected to the U.S. Congress from Connecticut, the first black conservative elected to Congress, and the first black Republican elected in sixty years.
Franks lost Connecticut's United States Senate election in 1998 to incumbent Democrat Chris Dodd, and has since been notable for avoiding the public spotlight. In 2010, the Waterbury Republican-American reported on Franks' history of unpaid debts and foreclosed properties.〔http://www.rep-am.com/articles/2010/11/29/news/local/523668.txt〕
