Glenn Patterson Turner (May 4, 1889 – July 10, 1975) was a lawyer from Milwaukee who served one term as a Socialist Party of America member of the Wisconsin State Assembly.
He became interested in socialism as a boy, through the influence of his Sunday school teacher, a German iron moulder, who started him reading Socialist literature.
He graduated in 1909 from North Division High School (Milwaukee), and attended the University of Wisconsin.
[2] Turner was elected to the Assembly in 1916 to succeed fellow Socialist Frank J. Weber, receiving 3,054 votes against 2,067 for S. A. Heiden (Republican) and 1038 for A. E. Wanda (Democrat).
In 1930, Turner was the Socialist candidate for state Attorney General; he came in third in a five-way race, with 6.4% of the vote (35,169 out of 551,563).
