  • John Walter Olver ist ein US-amerikanischer Politiker der Demokratischen Partei. Er vertritt den Bundesstaat Massachusetts seit 1991 im US-Repräsentantenhaus.
  • John Walter Olver (born September 3, 1936) is the U.S. Representative for Massachusetts's 1st congressional district, serving since 1991. He is a member of the Democratic Party. Early in his career, he was a chemistry professor and served in both chambers of the Massachusetts General Court. Raised on a farm in Pennsylvania, Olver graduated from college at the age of 18 and went on to earn a Doctor of Philosophy in chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After teaching at the University of Massachusetts Amherst for eight years, he won a Massachusetts House of Representatives election in 1968 and unseated an incumbent member of the Massachusetts Senate in 1972. Olver ran in a 1991 special election to succeed deceased 17-term incumbent Congressman Silvio O. Conte. The district is a primarily rural district that makes up most of Western Massachusetts, and Olver is the first Democrat to ever represent the district. He has since become a member of the House Committee on Appropriations and the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Olver has announced that he will not seek re-election in 2012, and will retire at the end of his eleventh term in Congress. His retirement makes it possible to avoid a contentious redistricting process in Massachusetts, as Massachusetts will lose one congressional district in the 2012 election.
