Former U.S. Rep. John Olver, a Democrat who represented western Massachusetts communities for more than two decades in Congress, has died. He was 86.
Olver served in both the Massachusetts House and Senate before winning a 1991 special election for the Congressional seat left vacant by the death of Republican Rep. Silvio O. Conte.
Gov. Maura Healey said Olver dedicated his life to serving the people of western and central Massachusetts, and that he always stayed true to his values. She ordered flags lowered to half-staff at all state buildings Friday. Olver received a master’s degree from Tufts University and a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining the faculty of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, ahead of entering politics.
