Darryl Glenn, Political Consultant

Former Republican Senate candidate Darryl Glenn opened his own political consulting company after the 2016 election, which we found amusing considering how poorly Glenn ran his own campaign. As we said at the time:

We can all agree that “DLG Esquire” is a horrendous name for any business that isn’t an escort service; try telling your boss that you want to hire “DLG Esquire” for any reason and make sure to let us know how that conversation turns out. Of course, if you’re interested in paying Darryl Glenn for political advice (or to come up with advertising ideas) then the name you write on your check is probably the least of your problems.

If you’re wondering who would possibly hire Glenn as a political consultant — and we know you are — we’ve got the answer for you. Larimer County Commissioner Lew Gaiter is apparently paying Glenn as a consultant as he seeks the 2018 Republican nomination for Governor. Here’s the proof from Gaiter’s Q1 campaign finance report that was just made available today:

Gaiter reported total contributions of $3,840 in Q1, though $3,500 came from Gaiter’s own pockets. Basically all of his money is going to Glenn.

Good luck with that.
