Gov. Gary Locke’s Statement on Death of Brock Adams

Gov. Gary Locke today issued the following statement on the death of former secretary of transportation and U.S. Senator Brock Adams:

“I was surprised and saddened to learn of Brock’s passing.

“He was the U.S. representative for my district in Seattle. He was an effective congressman, senator and secretary of transportation.

“Brock was a leader in creating more jobs for Boeing through the development of military contracts and the development of other business for the company. And thanks to his work in the Transportation Department, many of our state’s transportation needs were met during the late 1970s.

“Though he was living in Maryland, he still had many ties to the state. Mona and I express our sincerest condolences to his family and friends.”
