An effort in Bowie, Maryland, to recall City Council member Courtney Glass was initiated in April 2018.

Recall opponents

Glass offered the following response to the recall effort:

“	Even when I haven’t gone to my day job, I’ve come to council meetings. I’ve given everything I can and at a certain point, I would hope that others would have compassion or the journey that I’m on.	”
