Glen Lang

Glen Lang (born January 4, 1968) is an American businessman and politician who served as mayor of Cary, North Carolina from 1999 to 2003. He also was a professional hockey player. He "is considered to be among the best offensive players in team history and in NCAA Division III hockey history." In 2002, he founded and became the CEO of the Cary-based Capital Broadband's subsidiary Connexion Technologies which specialized in FTTH networks, providing Internet and television services to multi-family housing complexes. Investors in the Connextion Technologies include James Goodnight, founder of SAS Institute. He first entered politics in 1997 with a self-financed bid for the Cary Town Council in Cary, North Carolina. He won, and, two years later, sought and was elected mayor in 1999. As a result, Cary's growth slow significantly—the growth rate changed from 13% to under 3% under Lang's leadership. However, councilwoman Maria Dorrel though his style was abrasive and created a "hostile atmosphere." The groups' focus is working on policy that the majority of people can agree with, such as gerrymandering and voting rights.
