Who Represents Bernardston
All of Bernardston sits in one state senate district and one state representative district, so you do not have to check your address to know who speaks for you. One member of Congress covers the whole town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Bernardston included. Right now the town’s seat in the state House is vacant, which is worth understanding rather than skipping past.
State Delegation
State Senator · Hampshire, Franklin and Worcester · Democrat
Joanne M. Comerford
jo.comerford@masenate.gov · 617-722-1532 · Room 410, Massachusetts State House
Seat vacant
Natalie M. Blais resigned in January 2026, and the seat stays open until voters fill it at the state election on November 3, 2026. Until then no representative speaks for Bernardston in the House, so the fastest state-level contact for a Bernardston resident is the senator’s office above.
A state senator 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. All of Bernardston sits in Senator Comerford’s district, a wide rural district that runs across Franklin County and into Hampshire and Worcester, so there is no district line to check before you write.
Federal Delegation
All of Bernardston sits in the 2nd Congressional District, represented by James P. McGovern. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren and Edward J. Markey, both Democrats, who serve the entire state.
U.S. Representative · MA-2 · Democrat
James P. McGovern
202-225-6101 · 370 Cannon House Office Building
Contact details for the delegation come from the Massachusetts Legislature’s and Congress’s own member records, joined by member code.
