Braley later won the primary, and subsequently won the seat in the November 2006 general election.
Gluba currently works as a real estate broker with RE/MAX River Cities. Inc., Bettendorf, Iowa.
On August 31, 2007, Gluba officially filed as a candidate for mayor of his hometown of Davenport, Iowa. He faced former mayor Phil Yerington and at-large alderwoman Jamie Howard in the primary. On primary day, October 9, Gluba won, receiving 4,784 votes, or 45.33%. Gluba faced Yerington, who placed second with 3,495 votes, or 33.12%, in a runoff held on November 6, 2007.
