McGlowan’s political fire stoked early in life
McGlowan, who is vying against three other hopefuls for the GOP nomination, is incensed with the station’s decision to cancel her appearance, which she insists had been OK’d the previous day. She simply wants to remind listeners to vote in the June 1 primary, she says.
But the general manager, who preferred to stay out of this story, says McGlowan had plenty of air time during a political debate last week and could send the voting reminder in a press release. The DJs will read it, he says.
Rather than accept the news with resignation, the feisty 40-year-old pelts the man with her knowledge of FCC laws and regulations and demands he call his corporate headquarters. When he returns from that call and reaffirms his original decision, McGlowan vows the incident will receive a full investigation.
She doesn’t specify who will investigate, but she promises attorneys will be involved.
“See?” she tells a Daily Journal reporter and photographer as they all exit the radio station. “That’s the kind of thing I’ve had to deal since I decided to run.”
