Glenn Allen Hegar Jr. (born November 25, 1970)[1][2] is an American attorney who serves as Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. He was a Republican member of the Texas Senate representing the 18th District, west of Houston.[3] He succeeded fellow Republican Susan Combs as comptroller on January 2, 2015.[4][5] He was elected Comptroller in the general election on November 4, 2014.[3]
Hegar gained prominence in 2022 as the gatekeeper to the Texas's $330 billion in investment assets, following a letter he sent to more than 100 of the world's largest financial firms demanding that they make clear whether they restrict business with the fossil-fuel industry. If so, they would risk getting shut out of working with the fastest-growing US state.[6]
