2/27/17 Group Watch: Senator Rusty Glover to Run for Lt. Governor
State Senator Rusty Glover announced last week that he will run for lieutenant governor in 2018. A Republican from Mobile County, Glover said he wants to make the legislature open to all people, looking out for all Alabamians and not just the few. Glover, a retired high school history teacher, won election to the Alabama House of Representatives in 2002. He served a single term before winning election to the Alabama Senate in 2006 and is currently in his third term. The lieutenant governor’s responsibilities now include presiding over the Senate; breaking vote ties and deciding points of order; and making appointments to some boards and commissions. The lieutenant governor also becomes governor if the governor dies or is removed from office.
