Who Represents Becket
Becket sits whole inside a single state representative district and a single state senate district, so unlike some of its neighbors there is no line running through town: the same four offices speak for every address in Becket. One state representative and one state senator carry the town on Beacon Hill, one member of Congress carries it in the U.S. House, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the whole state, Becket included. Five names, and between them they cover everything from a rural school funding formula to a federal broadband grant.
State Senator
Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire District · Democrat
Paul W. Mark
State House: Room 504 · (617) 722-1625

The Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire district is one of the largest by land area in the state, stitching together dozens of small hill towns across four counties, so one senator carries the rural transit, broadband, farm and school-funding questions of a whole region. All of Becket sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
All of Becket sits in the 3rd Berkshire House district, so one representative speaks for the whole town and there is no address to check before you write.

Leigh Davis
State House: Room 134 · (617) 722-2400
Email: leigh.davis@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 Becket residents.
In Washington
All of Becket sits in the 1st Congressional District, which covers western Massachusetts from the Berkshires east toward Springfield. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
