Glenn Lancaster began his successful 40-year career in the electric utility industry as a technician at Elastimold’s high-power lab in Hackettstown, New Jersey. Through hard work and perseverance, he advanced through the ranks, holding key roles in research & development and sales. In 1983, Glenn married Anna, an accomplished artist, and together they raised two sons—one a dedicated Washington County Sheriff’s deputy and the other a proud United States Marine.
In 1991, Glenn and his family relocated to Oregon, where he continued his career in utility sales. By 1999, he co-founded Stephens, McCarthy, Lancaster LLC, a manufacturer’s representative company in the utility industry, where he remained a partner until his retirement in 2020. His long-standing career taught him the importance of systems, proper procedures, and, most importantly, how to connect with people.
Glenn’s commitment to community service has been a constant throughout his life. From 1997 to 2001, he served on the board of Compassionate Hands International, a Christian humanitarian aid organization providing relief across the globe. In more recent years, he served on the Charbonneau Country Club Board of Directors, contributing to the emergency preparedness and public safety committee. Additionally, Glenn took on the role of precinct committee person (PCP) to ensure his community was well-informed on local issues and candidates.
Glenn’s passion for connecting with people and addressing their concerns now drives his candidacy for Mayor of Wilsonville. He shares the residents’ desire for greater involvement in local government, improved city planning, and focusing on the issues that matter most to the community—not those imposed from outside. His personal motto, “Love Where You Live,” reflects his vision for Wilsonville, where every resident can take pride in their city.
As your next mayor, Glenn’s goal is to make sure every Wilsonville resident loves where they live.
