He termed out as Shreveport mayor.

This year Glover terms out as a House Representative.

Many say Glover has never viewed a public paycheck that he did not covet.

Big G is know for his booming voice and his mastery of political talk, often using many words to say very little.

Glover's record of attendance at the meetings of the Legislature and at committee meetings will certainly be a subject of discussion during his Senate race.
