Simon Glazer

loyal competent trusted low-profile

Simon Glazer surges upward in White House ranks as Press Secretary C.J. Cregg's favored internal pick, vaulted over external heavyweights like Energy Department deputy Gary Saunders and State Department's Tad Whitney. This bold promotion from within ignites staff resentments—Saunders boos C.J. at the Kennedy Center—yet cements Glazer's status as a reliable insider trusted to bolster the communications team amid petty grudges and galactic crises. Loyalty triumphs over flashy outsiders, positioning Glazer as a steady force in the Bartlet administration's pressure-cooker sphere.
