Advocacy and local politics Anglin organized and led the Lavesta Area Group, an association of southern Alberta landowners opposed to the construction of a 500 kV electricity transmission line through their area, from 2006 to 2010. He served as chair of the Rimoka Housing Foundation from 2010 to 2012 and also served as a town councillor in
Rimbey from 2010 until his election to the
Legislative Assembly of Alberta. In response to public criticism of the Act, the government revoked Cabinet's ability to approve critical transmission projects without a needs assessment in the fall of 2012, but the amendment did not affect the four transmission projects that were approved by cabinet under Bill 50 prior to the amendment. Anglin gained wide public attention in Alberta after he exposed the Energy and Utilities Board for spying on people who opposed power lines being put through their land. Anglin became interim leader of the Green Party in the fall of 2008. The validity of the meeting at which Anglin was elected was challenged by the party's previous leadership. Anglin presided over the dissolution of the party in July 2009. He attributed the party's failure to file required financial returns with Elections Alberta to a refusal by the previous executive to hand over necessary documentation. David Crowe, the previous CFO for the party, has denied Anglin's allegation, and has provided documentation of what he made available to the party and when, indicating that all needed documentation was made available in a timely manner.

Wildrose Party for the riding of Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre, which he won in the
2012 general election. Anglin left the Wildrose Party on November 2, 2014, to sit as an independent. In January 2015, he announced that he would seek the
Progressive Conservative nomination in his riding. Anglin's candidacy was rejected by the Progressive Conservatives, with the party indicating that allowing his candidacy would not have been in the 'best interests of the party' Anglin opted to run as an
independent in his riding, where he finished fourth. In 2018, Anglin announced his intention to run under the
Freedom Conservative banner in
the upcoming election. but then ran for the
Alberta Party. He later joined the Alberta Party. In 2025, Anglin was a guest speaker at an event hosted by the
Maskwacis-Wetaskiwin NDP Constituency Association in conjunction with the
Alberta NDP Rural Caucus. He also hosted a series of virtual sessions with the Alberta NDP Rural Caucus called "Alberta’s Failed Electricity Deregulation and How to Fix It." ==Electoral results==
