Amos Franklin Glover[1] (January 24, 1880 – May 18, 1959)[2] was an American realtor[3] and politician who served in the California State Assembly for the 69th district from 1935 to 1937.[4] During his tenure, he sponsored legislation promoting producer and consumer cooperatives.[5]
Glover was one of two dozen "EPIC Democrats" elected to the state legislature in 1934.[6][7] During the 1936 Democratic Party presidential primaries, he joined an EPIC slate nominally pledged to Upton Sinclair for president;[8] they actually supported Franklin D. Roosevelt, but opposed U.S. Senator William Gibbs McAdoo, who headed the president's slate.[9] The EPIC slate lost to Roosevelt's by a margin of eight to one.[10]
