Overview

Glenn Vaad is the State House Representative for House District 48, which is a position he has held since 2006.
Glenn’s passion lies in transportation issues, thanks to the 30 years he spent working for the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) doing Construction Engineering, Long-Range Planning, Project Management and Administration.

Because of his extensive knowledge in the transportation sector, he serves as the Ranking Republican Member of the House Transportation and Energy Committee. Glenn is also a member of the House Appropriations House Services committees and a co-chair of the General Assembly’s “Transportation Caucus” formed in 2007 to bring focus on Colorado’s needs.

Before being elected as a State Representative, Glenn spent 8 years as a Weld County Commissioner.
Glenn is very committed to public service and is active in his church and community. He served on the Saint Vrain Valley School Board for nine years and has also worked as a volunteer fireman and EMT.

Glenn and his lovely wife Mollie have been married for 45 years, and are the proud parents of two children and four grandchildren.

In his free time Glenn enjoys spending time with his family, reading and visiting with his neighbors in District 48 (if they agree with him!).
