==Early life==
Glickman was born in [[Wichita, Kansas]], on November 24, 1944,<ref name="bioguide" /> the son of Gladys A. (née Kopelman) and Milton Glickman.<ref name="man_times">Jehl, Douglas, [https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/28/us/man-in-the-news-turning-loss-into-victory-daniel-robert-glickman.html "Man in the News – Turning Loss Into Victory – Daniel Robert Glickman,"] December 28, 1994, ''New York Times,'' retrieved February 11, 2017</ref> His family was Jewish. The Glickman family operated Glickman Inc., a full-service scrap metal operation, since 1915 and Kansas Metal, an automobile and appliance shredder, since 1994. Glickman Inc. was founded by Jacob Glickman and later continued and expanded by Milton and Bill Glickman. With the death of Milton Glickman, Dan's father, in December 1999, Dan and his siblings Norman and Sharon Glickman carried on the family business until it was sold in 2002.

Glickman graduated from Wichita [[Southeast High School (Wichita, Kansas)|Southeast High School]] in 1962.<ref name="bioguide" /> He graduated from [[University of Michigan]] with a B.A. in history in 1966,<ref name="bioguide" /> where he was a classmate with one of [[Al Gore]]'s chiefs of staff, [[Charles Burson]],<ref>[http://www.salon.com/people/col/reit/1999/11/03/np1103/ salon.com, "People"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041027081713/http://www.salon.com/people/col/reit/1999/11/03/np1103/ |date=October 27, 2004 }}.

==Legal career==
In 1969 and 1970, Glickman worked as a trial attorney for the [[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission]], then was a partner in a law firm, Sargent, Klenda and Glickman.<ref name="ag_post">{{Cite news| url =https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/govt/admin/glickman.htm |title= Dan Glickman: Agriculture Secretary|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |access-date =August 18, 2014}}</ref><ref name="dan_univ" />

==Political career==
===Wichita Public Schools===
Glickman's first foray into public office was as a publicly elected member of the Wichita School Board, which oversees the [[Wichita Public Schools]] (USD-259), one of the nation's largest school districts. Between 1973 and 1976 he served as President of the Wichita School Board.<ref name="bioguide" /><ref name="ag_post" /><ref name="dan_univ" />

===U. S. House of Representatives===
Glickman was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives to represent [[Kansas's 4th congressional district]] in 1976, serving from January 3, 1977 to January 3, 1995, through eight successive re-elections.<ref name="bioguide" />

====Election====
In 1976, in his first congressional race, Glickman was elected to the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] as a [[United States Democratic Party|Democrat]] from {{ushr|KS|4}},<ref name="bioguide" /> defeating eight-term Republican incumbent [[Garner Shriver]]. Glickman held the office for nine consecutive terms.<ref name="bioguide" /><ref name="dan_univ" /><ref name="inc_trib">McNulty, Timothy J., [https://www.chicagotribune.com/1994/11/20/incumbents-defeat-is-a-case-study-in-grass-roots-politics/ "Incumbent's Defeat Is A Case Study In Grass-roots Politics,"] November 20, 1994, ''Chicago Tribune,'' retrieved February 10, 2017</ref>

====Issues and committees====
Glickman was active in [[general aviation]] policy, and co-wrote the [[General Aviation Revitalization Act]] (GARA) – controversial landmark legislation providing product liability protection for small airplane manufacturers (his district has produced most of America's light aircraft).<ref name="inc_trib" /><ref name="dan_univ" /><ref name="too_far">Kovarik, Kerry V., "[http://digitalcommons.law.seattleu.edu/sulr/vol31/iss4/15 A Good Idea Stretched Too Far: Amending the General Aviation Revitalization Act to Mitigate Unintended Inequities]," ''Seattle University Law Review'', Vol. 31, No. 4 (2008), Jan.2008, p.973, Seattle Univ.

During his congressional tenure, Glickman was also active in [[agriculture]] issues (his district's other major industry), and served on the [[House Agriculture Committee]], including six years as chair of the subcommittee overseeing federal farm policy. He served as principal author of the [[1990 Farm Bill]] and other legislation. While there, he lobbied for the position of Secretary of Agriculture under President Bill Clinton, losing initially, but winning the post after his tenth-race election ouster from Congress.<ref name="man_times" /><ref name="inc_trib" /><ref name="dan_univ" /><ref name="03_cbs">[https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dan-glickman-the-real-oliver-wendell-douglas/ "Dan Glickman, The Real Oliver Wendell Douglas,"] July 3, 2008.

In 1986, Glickman was one of the [[House impeachment managers]] appointed by the House of Representatives in 1986 to prosecute the case in the [[Federal impeachment trial in the United States|impeachment trial]] of [[Harry E. Claiborne]], judge of the United States District Court for Nevada. Claiborne was found guilty by the [[United States Senate]] and removed from his federal judgeship.<ref name="bioguide" /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://history.house.gov/Institution/Impeachment/Impeachment-List/ |title=List of Individuals Impeached by the House of Representatives |publisher=[[United States House of Representatives]] |access-date=January 15, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191218232339/https://history.house.gov/Institution/Impeachment/Impeachment-List/ |archive-date=December 18, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1993, he was appointed chair of the House [[Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence]] of the [[One Hundred Third Congress]], serving one term before his 1994 defeat.<ref name="bioguide" />

In October 1993, Glickman, representing a district whose second-largest industry was agriculture (particularly wheat production), voted for protectionism over free trade, restricting the importation of Canadian wheat.<ref name="dan_glickman_ontheissues_org">[http://www.ontheissues.org/House/Dan_Glickman.htm "Dan Glickman on the Issues,"], OnTheIssues.org, retrieved February 16, 2017</ref>

On "media freedom" versus "family values" one analyst reported that Glickman, in June 1993, voted to require that television shows have explicit viewer advisories.<ref name="dan_glickman_ontheissues_org" /> Glickman would later lead the [[Motion Picture Association of America]] (MPAA), which develops such ratings for motion pictures.

In his final term, Glickman was Chairman of the [[House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence]]. He held open hearings to bring the intelligence community's post–Cold War activities to light and began a committee investigation into the [[Aldrich Ames]] espionage case. Colleagues from both parties lauded his quiet, non-grandstanding, "careful and considered" leadership of the committee.<ref name="inc_trib" /><ref name="man_times" /><ref name="dan_univ" />

On abortion, Glickman straddled the fence, generally accommodating abortion, but voting for the [[Hyde Amendment]] that restricted federal funding of abortion.<ref name="inc_trib" /> In 1993, while on the [[House Judiciary Committee]], he was absent from a key vote on removing most state abortion restrictions, and said later that he was unsure how he would have voted.<ref name="divided">[https://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/20/us/divided-house-panel-advances-bill-to-ease-state-abortion-restrictions.html "Divided House Panel Advances Bill To Ease State Abortion Restrictions,"] May 20, 1993, ''New York Times,'' retrieved February 11, 2017</ref>

====Defeat====
In the Republican-landslide [[1994 United States elections|1994 congressional elections]], known as the [[Republican Revolution]], Glickman—in his bid for re-election to a 10th term—was unexpectedly defeated by [[Goddard, Kansas|Goddard]]  Republican [[Todd Tiahrt]].<ref name="man_times" /><ref name="debate_crimson">Christopher J.

Glickman later blamed his surprise defeat largely on his own [[pro-choice]] positions, which he said opponents used as an "organizing tool" to rally opposition against him from voters who were otherwise politically inactive.<ref name="debate_crimson" /><ref name="inc_trib" /><ref name="race_washtimes" /> In a detailed review of Tiahrt's victory, the ''Chicago Tribune'' reported that Glickman's unexpected defeat was largely the product of Tiahrt's recruitment of 1,800 volunteers from churches and anti-abortion groups in their congressional district (which had become the center of the national anti-abortion movement<ref name="drive_times">[https://www.nytimes.com/1991/08/04/us/drive-against-abortion-finds-a-symbol-wichita.html "Drive Against Abortion Finds a Symbol: Wichita,"] August 4, 1991, ''The New York Times''</ref><ref name="killer_convicted_2010_01_30_chicago_trib">Abcarian, Robin, [https://www.chicagotribune.com/2010/01/30/abortion-docs-killer-convicted/ "Abortion doc's killer convicted,"] January 30, 2010, ''Chicago Tribune,'' (originally published January 29, 2010 in ''Los Angeles Times'' as [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-jan-29-la-na-tiller-trial30-2010jan29-story.html "Scott Roeder convicted of murdering abortion doctor George Tiller,"]), retrieved February 16, 2017; which says "...Wichita, which became a center of the anti-abortion movement in the late 1980s and 1990s."</ref><ref name="abortion_today">Welch, William M., [http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-05-31-abortiondoc_N.htm "Abortion provider was accustomed to threats,"] May 31, 2009, ''USA Today,'' retrieved February 16, 2017; which says: "His practice made him a focal point in the political struggle over abortion, and his hometown became ground zero for anti-abortion activists.

Another casualty of the 1994 Republican congressional sweep was Glickman's wife, Rhoda, who, for 13 years, had led the [[Congressional Arts Caucus]]—one of 28 caucuses soon to be defunded by the incoming Republican Congress.<ref name="man_times" />

===Other roles===
* [[Communities In Schools]], a federation of independent 501(c)(3) organizations in 27 states and the District of Columbia that work to address the "dropout epidemic"—one of the largest dropout-prevention organizations in the U.S., and one of the largest promoters of community-based, integrated student-support services.

==Motion picture industry==
In 2004, the [[Motion Picture Association of America]] (MPAA) announced that Glickman would replace [[Jack Valenti]] as its chief [[lobbyist]].<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A21974-2004Jul1.html Washington Post, "Glickman Succeeds Valenti At MPAA"]. ''The Washington Post''. Retrieved on September 23, 2011.</ref> Glickman served as chairman and CEO of the MPAA from 2004 to 2012.<ref name="dan_univ" /><ref>[http://www.mpaa.org/AboutUsGlickman.asp Motion Picture Association of America] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060209025758/http://www.mpaa.org/AboutUsGlickman.asp |date=February 9, 2006 }}</ref>

When Glickman was named to the MPAA post, his son [[Jonathan Glickman]] was serving as president of Spyglass Entertainment [[Spyglass Media Group]] and produced such films as ''[[While You Were Sleeping (film)|While You Were Sleeping]]'' and ''[[Rush Hour (1998 film)|Rush Hour]]''.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Waxman|first=Sharon|date=2004-11-11|title=Valenti's Successor, but Not His Clone|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/11/movies/valentis-successor-but-not-his-clone.html|access-date=2020-09-01|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

A hallmark of Glickman's MPAA tenure was his "war on movie piracy", or the illegal copying and distribution of motion pictures.<ref name="03_cbs" />

In an MPAA press release, May 31, 2006, entitled "Swedish Authorities Sink Pirate Bay", Dan Glickman stated

<blockquote>The actions today taken in Sweden serve as a reminder to pirates all over the world that there are no safe harbours for Internet copyright thieves<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.mpaa.org/press_releases/2006_05_31.pdf |title=SWEDISH AUTHORITIES SINK PIRATE BAY |work=mpaa.org press_release |date=2006-05-31 |access-date=June 18, 2008 |archive-date=October 3, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091003154146/http://www.mpaa.org/press_releases/2006_05_31.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
</blockquote>

In the 2007 documentary ''[[Good Copy Bad Copy]]'', Glickman was interviewed in connection with the 2006 raid on [[The Pirate Bay]] by the [[Swedish police]], conceding that piracy will never be stopped, but stating that they will try to make it as difficult and tedious as possible.<ref>[http://www.goodcopybadcopy.net/about Good Copy Bad Copy] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080622005226/http://www.goodcopybadcopy.net/about |date=June 22, 2008 }}. Good Copy Bad Copy. Retrieved on September 23, 2011.</ref>

On January 22, 2010, Glickman announced he would step down as head of the MPAA on April 1, 2010.<ref>[https://deadline.com/2010/01/the-longest-goodbye-in-mpaa-history-23167/ The Longest Goodbye in MPAA History]. Deadline.com. Retrieved on September 23, 2011.</ref>

Glickman remains, however, a member of the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]], which dispenses the Motion Picture [[Academy Awards]] (Oscars),<ref name="dan_univ" /> and the [[American Film Institute]].<ref name="03_cbs" />
