Evan Matthew Glass (born January 30, 1977) is an American politician and journalist who has served as an at-large member of the Montgomery County Council since 2018.[1] He is the first openly LGBTQ+ person elected to the body.[2]

Early life and education

[edit]

Evan Glass was born in Westbury, New York to Mona Glass, a bookkeeper, and David Glass, an insurance underwriter.[3] An only child, Glass’ parents divorced when he was five and he grew up in a traditional Levitt home with his mother, who worked two jobs to provide for the family.[4] A graduate of W. Tresper Clarke High School, Glass was active in the school newspaper and Model Congress.[5] He went on to attend American University in Washington, DC, and earned bachelor's degrees in both journalism and political science.[6]

Career

[edit]

Journalism

[edit]

Immediately after graduating from college in 1999, Glass began a 12-year journalism career at CNN.[7] First hired to work as a video researcher in the Washington bureau’s library, he worked his way through various positions to serve as a Congressional producer, a role in which he covered Capitol Hill, presidential campaigns and national politics.[8] During the 2008 presidential campaign, Glass traveled the country serving as one of CNN’s primary journalists covering the Republican field and the campaign of the eventual GOP nominee John McCain.[9] His coverage and reporting on election night from McCain’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona earned him an Emmy nomination.[10]

Glass left CNN in 2011 to serve as a strategic communications consultant with Reingold Inc and as an independent consultant.[11] In 2014, Glass became the executive director of Gandhi Brigade Youth Media, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching media and advocacy skills to underserved youth.[12] During his four-year tenure, Glass expanded the after-school program from operating at one location in Montgomery County to eight.[13] In addition, he launched the Montgomery County Youth Media Festival in partnership with the AFI Silver Theatre and successfully led a campaign for the organization to have permanent headquarters in the Silver Spring Library.[14][15]

Montgomery County Council

[edit]

Glass first ran for a seat on the Council in 2014,[16] but ultimately finished second in a competitive Democratic primary.[17] In 2018, Glass ran a successful campaign and was elected to serve as an At-Large member of Montgomery County Council for a four-year term beginning in December 2018.[18] During this first term, he served as Council Vice President from December 2021 through December 2022.[19]

Glass successfully ran for re-election in November 2022.[20] On December 6, 2022, the eleven members of the Council unanimously elected Glass to serve as Council President for a one-year term.[21]

Glass serves as chair of the Council’s Transportation & Environment Committee and as a member of the Council’s Economic Development Committee.[22]

Glass also serves as the Council’s representative to the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments’ board of directors and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments’ Climate Energy & Environment Policy Committee.[23] He previously served on the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments’ Transportation Planning Board, the National Association of Counties Large Urban Caucus Committee and the Montgomery County Interagency Commission on Homelessness.[24] In January 2024, Glass was one of 16 new members appointed to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Local Government Advisory Committee.[25]

Political Positions

[edit]

Transportation & Pedestrian Safety

[edit]

Glass chairs the Council’s Transportation & Environment Committee and has been one of the body’s most vocal proponents of Vision Zero initiatives to eliminate traffic fatalities. He led the passage of the Safe Streets Act of 2023, which prioritizes pedestrians by enhancing walk times at crosswalks, prohibits “right turn on red” at busy intersections in downtown areas, and requires infrastructure reviews following incidents in school zones.[26]

He has also led efforts to improve transit equity, including free access to public transportation for kids under 18,[27] legislation to ensure that sidewalks in the County’s Equity Emphasis Areas are cleared after winter storms,[28] updating bicycle impoundment laws,[29] and increasing bus service in the UpCounty region.[30]

Environment

[edit]

Glass is a staunch advocate for strategies to both prevent and mitigate the harmful effects of climate change. He has led the Transportation & Environment Committee in a number of worksessions about Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) and has had conversations with community members and stakeholders about ways to reduce carbon emissions from the building sector.[31][32][33][34][35][36]

Glass has also led efforts to expand forest conservation and protect the County’s natural environment, expand composting and recycling,[37] and facilitate the switch from gas-powered to electric appliances like leaf blowers.[38]

Economic Development

[edit]

On the first day of his Council Presidency, Councilmember Glass established the new Economic Development Committee to focus the Council’s efforts on growing the county’s business sector, attracting Fortune 500 companies, and addressing other major economic concerns such as closing the racial wealth gap.[39]

Glass has also supported initiatives to help small businesses access capital and reduce costs.[40] In 2021, he led legislation to expand eligibility for Montgomery County-based entrepreneurs to receive grants in scientific discovery and entrepreneurship.[41] That year, he also spearheaded a special appropriation of $231,000 for businesses facing economic hardship because of delays from Purple Line construction; an additional $815,000 of funds was approved in 2023.[42]

In April 2024, Glass led the passage of the Make Office Vacancy Extinct (MOVE) Act, with support from the other three members of the Council’s Economic Development Committee.[43] The law, which went into effect in November 2024, codified and updated an existing grant program of the same name that helps businesses offset the cost of leasing office space in Montgomery County.[44] The MOVE Act aims to attract new and growing businesses to the County by expanding the program’s eligibility and increasing the maximum possible grant award.[45]

Housing

[edit]

During his first term, Glass served as a member of the Council’s Health & Human Services Committee and as the lead for Homelessness and Vulnerable Committees.[46] In this role, he spearheaded the Housing Justice Act of 2021, which strengthened local anti-discrimination laws to help more individuals access housing.[47] He also shepherded legislation during the COVID-19 pandemic to strengthen the structure and governance of the County’s Interagency Commission on Homelessness.[48]

Glass has voiced support for increasing housing production, stating that “if we want more housing to be affordable, we need to build more housing. Full stop.”[49] In November 2024, Glass introduced legislation to amend the timing of when impact taxes are levied on a project. The bill is an effort to incentivize developers to build more housing units in Montgomery County by making it easier for them to finance such projects.[50]

Public Safety

[edit]

Glass is a proponent of a holistic approach to public safety. In May 2022, he proposed expanding the Montgomery County Police Department’s Cadet Program as a way of addressing the Department’s staffing challenges and strengthening their local connections and cultural competency.[51] As a result, the Department’s operating budget for Fiscal Year 2023 included funding to increase the Cadet Program’s enrollment capacity from 12 to 25.[52]

Government Transparency and Accessibility

[edit]

In November 2020, voters approved Councilmember Glass’ proposed amendment to the Montgomery County Charter to expand the number of seats on the County Council from nine to eleven.[53] In 2022, with the redrawn maps in effect, voters elected the most diverse and first majority-women Council in the body’s known history.[54]

Equity and Social Justice

[edit]

Glass’ first piece of legislation was the 2019 Pay Equity Act, which prohibited the Montgomery County government from basing salary offers on an applicant’s past earnings.[55] In 2023, the County released a report finding that it had virtually erased the gender pay gap for local government employees.[56]

After a rise in hate crimes and bias incidents in Montgomery County, specifically those targeting racial and ethnic minorities, members of some religions, and LGBTQ+ residents, Glass as Council President called for the creation of the first Montgomery County Anti-Hate Task Force.[57] The Task Force was composed of six cohorts, each identifying specific issues facing members of that community. In December 2023, each of the six cohorts presented their policy recommendations to the full Council.[58]

In 2020, Glass led the unanimous passage of the LGBTQ+ Bill of Rights, the first of its kind in Maryland.[59] The law expanded Montgomery County’s anti-discrimination code to include gender expression and HIV status, and explicitly banned LGBTQ+ discrimination in healthcare facilities, nursing homes and personal care facilities.[60] As the first openly LGBTQ+ member of the Council, Glass has hosted an annual pride flag raising ceremony every year since his election during LGBTQ+ Pride Month in June.[61]

Personal Life

[edit]

Glass lives in Silver Spring with his husband Jason and their two rescue beagles.[62]

Shortly after moving to Maryland, Glass became active in the local community. In 2005 he co-founded the South Silver Spring Neighborhood Association in an effort to create pedestrian infrastructure, improve public safety and change the area’s reputation.[63]

Over the years, Glass was invited to join numerous boards and commissions that supported the environment (Conservation Montgomery),[64] affordable housing (Montgomery Housing Partnership)[65] and community engagement (Safe Silver Spring). In 2011, weeks after Glass left CNN, he was asked to join the board of Equality Maryland, where he helped the organizational efforts to pass marriage equality in Maryland – the first state to do so by referendum.[66][67]

Elections

[edit]

2014

[edit]

In 2013, Glass announced his intention to run for the Montgomery County Council’s 5th District,[68] a heavily Democratic district based in Burtonsville, Silver Spring, Takoma Park and White Oak. As a result of the resignation of sitting councilmember Valerie Ervin, the open seat attracted five Democrats vying for the nomination, including two-term Maryland Delegate Tom Hucker and Montgomery County Board of Education member Christopher Barclay.[69] Glass was endorsed by the Washington Post and Gazette newspapers,[70] Takoma Park Mayor Bruce Williams and community leaders from across the district.[71] He ultimately came in second place, behind Hucker by 222 votes out of 20,000 cast.[17]

2018

[edit]

Glass officially launched his campaign for a countywide At-Large seat on the Montgomery County Council in September 2017.[72] As a result of newly instituted term limits, three of the four At-Large seats were open.[73][74] Glass joined a field of 32 other candidates for the Democratic nomination, being endorsed by the Washington Post,[75] the Sierra Club[76] and other community, civic and business organizations. He ultimately placed third in the June primary and placed first in the November election.[77][78]

2022

[edit]

Glass launched his re-election campaign in May 2021.[79] In a field of eight Democrats, Glass came in first place, receiving a historic 88,301 votes.[80] In November 2022, he came in first place against seven other candidates, receiving a historic 238,001 votes.[81]
