Who Represents Chatham
Five people speak for Chatham above the town line, and there is no district boundary inside the town to check first. One state representative and one state senator carry the whole town in the Massachusetts Legislature, one member of Congress carries it in the U.S. House, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Chatham included. Between them they cover everything from a state road repair to a federal grant for your school.
State Senator
Cape and Islands District · Democrat
Julian Cyr
State House: Room 111 · (617) 722-1570
Email: julian.cyr@masenate.gov
A state senator votes the state budget, files bills, and sits on the joint committees where most bills live or die. All of Chatham sits inside the Cape and Islands district, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Chatham is not split. The entire town sits in the 4th Barnstable House district, so one representative answers for every street in it.
4th Barnstable District · Democrat
Hadley Luddy
State House: Room 448 · (617) 722-2582
Email: hadley.luddy@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. Representative Luddy sits on the Joint Committee on Agriculture and Fisheries, which matters a great deal on a working coast like Chatham’s.
In Washington
All of Chatham sits in the Ninth Congressional District, one of nine in Massachusetts, which runs from the South Coast out along 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, and both of them represent you as much as any Chatham voter.
9th Congressional District · Democrat
William R. Keating
Washington: 2372 Rayburn House Office Building · 202-225-3111
