Glover started working for Senator John Ashcroft (R-Missouri) in 1996 when he was a freshman senator and helped him explore a bid for the 2000 presidential election. [3] Ashcroft chose not to run for president, so Glover became press secretary for businessman Steve Forbes, whose campaign ended before the Republican Party convention. [3]

Glover also worked for Bill Kristol, Vice President Dan Quayle, former Senator and Energy Secretary Spence Abraham, and conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly.

[5] After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, it started providing pro bono PR assistance for Ukraine as well. [23] The firm's senior director and Ukrainian national Veronika Velch (V. Kruglashova) [24] [25] worked to connect members of the media with Ukrainian citizens and government officials. [26] "We’re honored to support our longtime Ukrainian colleague in her volunteer work to help her country," Glover told Politico on the matter. [26]

Glover serves on the board of directors for several organizations, including: FREOPP, [5] Take Back Our Republic group to reduce the political influence of big donors, [27] [28] the Climate Leadership Council, [29] and Biden Institute.
