What a loss. Ever grateful to be able to work for, and learn from, Glen. RIP.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Glen Bolger.  Glen was one of the three founding partners of our firm in 1991.

He was a leader, a creative visionary, a husband, father, brother, mentor, a cornerstone of our organization, and cherished friend to all.

I first met @posglen about a month after I came to Washington as a political consultant. Our first meeting was somewhat curt. He gave me advice on pitching business, without me asking. I was too dumb to ask, as he was an outstanding pitcher. We both built books of biz in Virginia, among other places, & over the next 27 years we worked together on a bunch of races, and won almost all of them - which I can't say about many people. As today's young people come into our business, I hate they cannot learn the urgency Glen had. More than anyone I have met in our line of work, he did not let grass grow under his feet. In his hey day, you'd be on the phone with him and he'd say something like: "gotta go; the congressman in Syracuse just retired so I'm heading to the airport." And he would hang up immediately. He won some work because he was good, and some work because he got there first. He was similarly capable of swift decisions in campaigns, without second-guessing. It was a great and radical lesson, and one I do not follow often enough. Late in his life, Glen spent a lot of time touring the world with his wife, Carol, and luckily he took pictures and wrote a blog about it so we could "go" with them. I think he got through his bucket list - and as a 56 year old, I will try to learn that Glen lesson, too. May God bless the Bolger family, his founding partners @KCkid & @pollsterguy, and everyone else at Public Opinion Strategies, the juggernaut they built. Welcome home, Glen.

These keys came with every car in America when I was a kid. I can’t explain how or why but everyone over 40 knows this is true.

Enormous setback for Dems as VA Supreme Court strikes down the referendum vote and therefore Dems’ 10D-1R gerrymander. Now best Dems can hope for is to pick up two seats under current map, not four.

The world is a bit less joyous - and West Virginia has one less patriot - with the passing of former Rep. David McKinley. He and I entered the U.S. House of Representatives with the rambunctious class of 2010! He was a friend and no one loved his family or his home state more. Susan and I are praying for Mary and David's family following this loss.

I was saddened to learn that my former @HouseCommerce colleague, David McKinley, passed away earlier today. Congressman McKinley was a tireless advocate for the people of West Virginia and will be deeply missed. Please join Beth and I in praying for his family and loved ones.
