Who Represents Aquinnah
All of Aquinnah sits in one state representative district and one state senate district, so unlike some Massachusetts towns you do not have to check your address to know who speaks for you on Beacon Hill. One member of Congress covers the whole town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Aquinnah included. Five names on this page, and between them they cover everything from a shellfish bylaw to a federal fisheries rule.
State Senator
Cape and Islands District · Democrat
Julian Cyr
State House: Room 111 · (617) 722-1570

The Cape and Islands district reaches across Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, so one senator carries the water, ferry, housing and school funding questions of a whole region. All of Aquinnah sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
All of Aquinnah sits in the Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket House district, so one representative speaks for the whole town on Beacon Hill.

Thomas W. Moakley
State House: Room 134 · (617) 722-2400
Email: thomas.moakley@mahouse.gov
A state representative files bills, votes the state budget, and can chase a state agency on a constituent’s behalf, which is often the fastest use of the office. This office takes calls from Aquinnah residents.
In Washington
All of Aquinnah sits in the 9th Congressional District, a large district running from New Bedford out across Cape Cod and the Islands. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
