Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) today released the following statement after reports that former Washington state Governor Mike Lowry has passed away:

“Over the course of decades of public service, Governor Lowry worked hard on behalf of Washington state – including as our state’s Governor. In and out of office Mike advanced issues important to Washingtonians such as affordable housing, healthcare, and redress for Japanese Americans who were wrongfully interned during WWII. My thoughts are with his family.”
