Who Represents Bourne
Bourne is split between two state representative districts, so this is one of the towns where your own address decides who speaks for you on Beacon Hill. One state senator and one member of Congress cover the whole town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Bourne included. Six names on this page, five for any single address, and between them they cover everything from a shellfish rule to a federal bridge appropriation.
State Senator
Plymouth and Barnstable District · Democrat
Dylan A. Fernandes
State House: Room 519 · (617) 722-1330

The Plymouth and Barnstable district runs across the canal, joining Bourne to Falmouth, Mashpee and Sandwich on the Cape side and to Kingston, Pembroke, Plymouth and Plympton on the mainland. All of Bourne sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Bourne is split between the 3rd Barnstable and the 5th Barnstable House districts, so the person who speaks for your street depends on where in town you live. Check your address before you write, because a letter to the wrong one of these two will simply be forwarded.
3rd Barnstable District · Republican
David T. Vieira
State House: Room 167 · (617) 722-2230

5th Barnstable District · Republican
Steven George Xiarhos
State House: Room 542 · (617) 722-2488

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. Both of these offices take calls from Bourne residents.
In Washington
All of Bourne sits in the 9th Congressional District, which runs 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.
9th Congressional District · Democrat
William R. Keating
Washington: 2372 Rayburn House Office Building · 202-225-3111
