Glenn Farley has served as a Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation since June 2026. He specialized in tax and fiscal policy for the Grover M. Hormann Center for the Federal Budget.

Before joining Heritage, Glenn was Director of Policy & Research for the Common Sense Institute in Arizona, where he led the organizations' original research into state and local tax, fiscal, and economic policies. During his tenure, among other things, he helped the public and policymakers in Arizona understand the policy implications of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and in particular the new responsibilities it created for the states administrators of federally-funded entitlement programs.

Prior to that, he served as Chief Economist & Tax Policy Advisor to then-Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona. During his tenure, the state and Gov. Ducey balanced a budget in structural deficit since the Great Recession, responded to a rapidly-changing state fiscal environment after the Supreme Court's Wayfair state sales tax decision and federal enactment of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, and ultimately successfully enacted a lowest-in-the-nation 2.5% flat income tax rate in 2021.

Originally from Arizona, Glenn lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and three children.
