Governor Janet Mills released the following statement grieving the passing of Maine State Representative Archie Verow (D-Brewer):
“It is with great sadness and gratitude for his lifelong contributions to our state that we grieve the passing of Representative “Archie” Verow. Archie was a passionate public servant who dedicated much of his life to the people of Brewer and the State of Maine, serving on Brewer’s City Council, as Mayor, and in the State Legislature. His commitment to community and his tireless defense of Maine seniors will be sorely missed. Just yesterday, I enjoyed his company at the Bangor Chamber of Commerce breakfast, and he was eager to discuss the upcoming legislative session. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, his colleagues in the Legislature and with the people of Brewer during this difficult time.”
