A Father’s Privilege

John Glen Weaver for U.S. Senate

The road through Nebraska gives John Glen Weaver time to consider the people who taught him what responsibility looks like.

The story

A Father’s Privilege moves between Weaver’s childhood, the influence of two very different grandfathers, his military service and the experience of raising children of his own. One grandfather worked with his hands; the other pursued an education and became an oral surgeon. Together, they gave Weaver a measure of manhood rooted in work, sacrifice and presence.

The idea

Filmed during a campaign journey with his family, the story makes fatherhood its model for public service. Leadership means showing up, making difficult decisions and preparing the next generation for a future one will not always be there to see.
