A Lifetime in Lincoln County
Glen T. Douglas is a lifelong Lincoln County resident and a 1988 graduate of Lincoln County High School. He began developing leadership skills early as a member of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), where he learned Robert’s Rules of Order — parliamentary procedures that continue to guide his work in county government today.
Glen and his wife, Brenda, have been married for 12 years. Brenda has worked at Tractor Supply Company for the past 15 years. Together they share four children and four grandchildren. Glen describes himself as a Christian and a conservative, and credits his faith, family, and commitment to service for guiding his involvement in the community.
From his earliest days as a police reserve and volunteer firefighter to his current role as Lincoln County Commissioner, Glen has built his life around serving the place he calls home.
