Ambush News interviews new CEO of UNM-Gallup, James Malmby Meche Williams '19 Surrogacy for Arizona Representativeby Shawn McCraith '18 Do you ever wonder about having a child and watching them grow up while you go through hardships for that child? Now, what about having a child for another man that isn’t your spouse? According to Arizona Representative Trent Franks, it was nothing too big of a deal to ask staffers that he worked with to be surrogate mothers for his child. As he was questioned about the situation it was said that he never had sexual contact with either of the two ladies that he had asked. Franks himself stated,”I do want to take full and personal responsibility for the ways I have broached a topic that, unbeknownst to me until very recently, made certain individuals uncomfortable.” He was sorry and apologetic for what had transpired since the two staffers had left their jobs since the odd incident. Trent said that he has been dealing with infertility with his wife for quite some time and have had two twins from another surrogate but they decided that they wanted more children.Even with the trouble of having children attempts were made but were futile and their twins had requested more siblings. Trent and his wife were trying many options and choices to adopt or find a surrogate mother to have children for them, according to a fertility clinic in California the couple from Arizona were struggling to have children for over 20 years. Franks was a member of many committees like a House Judiciary subcommittee, a House Freedom Caucus and has served in the House since 2003. While a new subcommittee was produced to investigate Franks, he and his family decided that is was best for him to resign for the sake of his workplace, friends and family. Trent Franks announced that his resignation will be effective on January 31st and that it will end the ethics investigation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/rep-trent-franks-of-arizona-is-expected-to-resign/2017/12/07/479d156a-db9f-11e7-b859-fb0995360725_story.html?utm_term=.a49f935c2845 https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/rep-trent-franks-facing-ethics-investigation-says-he-will-resign-immediately/2017/12/08/bec2f630-dc55-11e7-b859-fb0995360725_story.html?utm_term=.e279b5548c1f Atheist Billboard Causes Christmas Controversyby Mariah Two '21 A billboard along I-25 in Albuquerque, near Montgomery, is causing some controversy..
