Congressman Glenn Nye is a fifth-generation Second District resident and former Foreign Service officer. Nye volunteered to serve in conflict zones in Afghanistan, Kosovo and Iraq. He received the State Department's Superior Honor Award for leading a rescue of 26 American citizens and negotiating the release of an American hostage. In Iraq, Nye led operations to create jobs for Iraqis as part of the counter-insurgency effort. He worked to develop fledgling democracies and bring stability to communities and economic hope to struggling countries. Concerned about how our Washington leaders have shaped our approach to the world - with a misguided war in Iraq while neglecting priorities at home - Glenn is running for Congress to change the course of American policy. Glenn returned home to Hampton Roads from Iraq, where he advised a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) program, working closely with military colleagues to stabilize Iraqi neighborhoods by creating employment for over 70,000 Iraqis.
