The cities and towns of Massachusetts’ First Congressional District are great places to live, and my goal in the House of Representatives during my nineteen years on Capitol Hill has always been to make them even better. That’s why I’m running for a seat in the 112th Congress.

Western and central Massachusetts residents have a deep commitment to providing our children with a quality education, standing up for constitutional rights and civil freedoms, protecting nature’s resources and environmental future, keeping citizens of all ages healthy, honoring our nation’s soldiers and veterans, enhancing America’s standing in the international community, providing economic opportunity and livable wages for workers, and developing our region’s industries, educational institutions, and recreational, cultural and historical attractions. My work over the years has been focused on facing our challenges head-on and building a better tomorrow for the First District and the entire Bay State. I want to continue that work next Congress, and, with your help and support, we can meet any challenge and achieve any goal.

Please join me in creating a brighter future for us all. John Olver
