Statement from the President on the Retirement of Congressman John Olver

October 26, 2011

In the State House and Congress, John Olver has proudly served the people of Massachusetts for over forty years. He has fought tirelessly for a cleaner environment, modern infrastructure, more affordable housing, and more accessible health care. Michelle and I join the people of Massachusetts in thanking Congressman Olver for his service, and we wish John, his wife Rose, and daughter Martha the very best in the future.
