Expand all | Collapse all

Glass is a native of Indiana who is passionate about making a difference in her community. As a candidate for Indianapolis City Council in the 13th District, she's committed to fighting for individual liberty, free markets, and limited government. In addition to her work in politics, Libby is an engineering draftsman and designer. She loves solving puzzles and finding creative solutions to complex problems.
  • The City Council should work to ensure that our police and fire departments have the resources they need to keep our community safe, while also respecting the rights of our citizens.
  • The City Council is capable of reducing taxes for the citizens of Indianapolis and should work to reduce the tax burden on our citizens and businesses.
  • The City Council should operate in an open and transparent manner in all aspects, but especially when it comes to where its citizen's taxes are going.
Community Question Featured local question
I think there is work that needs to be done. We aren't the worst downtown in the country, but we aren't the best. I think we should learn from the mistakes and successes of other cities. Why reinvent the wheel if the experiment has already been done in other cities around the country.
Community Question Featured local question
As a libertarian, I believe it is crucial to involve residents in the government's decision-making process. Individuals should have the right to participate in shaping policies that directly affect their lives. To ensure resident involvement, I propose implementing mechanisms such as town hall meetings, public referendums, and online platforms for feedback and suggestions. Additionally, I would advocate for transparency and open communication channels between government officials and residents, allowing for meaningful dialogue and collaboration. Ultimately, empowering residents in decision-making fosters a more accountable and responsive government that respects individual liberties.
Community Question Featured local question
I believe that the primary role of government is to protect individual rights and maintain a just legal system. This includes enforcing laws against aggression, theft, and fraud. We should reserve punitive measures for those crimes.

To address the non-violent crime problem, I would advocate for:

1. Community-based solutions: Encouraging communities to take an active role in preventing crime through neighborhood watch programs, community policing, and fostering strong social bonds. We need to address the root causes.

2. Protecting individual rights: Ensuring that law enforcement agencies respect civil liberties, such as privacy rights and due process, and holding them accountable for any abuses of power.

By promoting personal responsibility, community involvement, and a focus on individual rights, I believe that public safety can be enhanced while preserving individual liberties and minimizing unnecessary government intervention.
Community Question Featured local question
We should start with small practical fixes first. Things like fixing pot holes and repairing sidewalks, adding lighting in dark neighborhoods. With the small/proven things are done, then we can talk about bigger more experimental changes.
Community Question Featured local question
My approach to infrastructure would prioritize limited government intervention and promote free-market solutions. I believe in reducing government bureaucracy and regulations that hinder private sector innovation and investment in infrastructure projects. This includes streamlining the permitting process, removing unnecessary red tape, and allowing the market to determine the most efficient and effective solutions. By embracing market forces and reducing government intervention, we can foster competition, efficiency, and innovation in infrastructure development while respecting individual liberties and minimizing taxpayer burden.
Community Question Featured local question
I think we need to go back to police walking a beat and becoming more part of the community instead of just being in the community.
Community Question Featured local question
As a libertarian, I am against mandates of any kind. Give the people the most up to date information and some suggestions and then let them decide what is best for them and their families. Our mental health as a society was deeply harmed by being labeled unessential or forced to stay in our homes.
I want to personally read all of the county/city ordinances on the books and propose legislation to remove the redundant and outdated regulations.
Marva Collins, she took a neglected and hopeless community of young people and built them into successful and thriving adults.
. In my professional life I am a troubleshooter. After I learn the industry, I can look at a new project and see three or four steps down the line. I can anticipate where and how things can go wrong and bring that to the forefront before we make the prototype. I am also low on the agreeability personality trait. That means I am not a smile and nod kind of person. Just ask my family and friends. My favorite question to ask is why? Why is it done that way? Why did you make this like that? Why couldn’t we have tried this before we did that? If I know the answers to those questions, then I have done two things. I have made the designer think and verify that their thinking is correct AND I have learned their rationale. If it works and makes sense, then I can apply it in similar situations.
I want to go back to when Public service was a temporary term where personal gifts, talents and resources were utilized to selflessly make a community better. Being a politician is not a career choice for me. I want to serve my community with my talents and help others to want to do the same so that they will be inspired to continue after I have concluded my service.
I don't have a grand legacy that I want to leave. I want people who knew me to think I was a good example of how someone should live their life and that they try to emulate and apply it to their life.
9/11. I had just turned 14
My first official job was grader for my into to mechanical engineering technology class, but I had been working for my mom for 10+ years prior to that.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I love dry British comedy and quirky Sci-Fi.
Kitty Pryde of the X-men. She could walk through walls and levitate. I would mainly use this power to drive through traffic jams. I have thought about her every time I have been in one since I turned 16
Walkin’ My Baby Back Home by Nat King Cole
Public Speaking. And I have always struggled with my weight. I know what I should do, but I don't always follow through.
Dad jokes. All kinds. Especially ones where most people groan.
