Who Represents Clarksburg
Five people speak for Clarksburg above the town line, and the whole town shares all five: one state representative, one state senator, one member of Congress, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators. There is no district boundary running through Clarksburg, so you do not have to check your address before you write. That is unusual and it is useful, because it means any Clarksburg resident writing to any of these offices is writing as a constituent.
State Senator
Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire District · Democrat
Paul Mark
State House: Room 504 · (617) 722-1625
Email: paul.mark@masenate.gov
The Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire district covers 57 municipalities, reaching from the Vermont line down through Berkshire County and east across Franklin, Hampshire and Hampden. One senator carries the rural school funding, road, broadband and housing questions of dozens of towns the size of Clarksburg, so a letter from here is a letter from a town he already knows.
State Representative
John Barrett, III
State House: Room 277 · (617) 722-2012
Email: john.barrett@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. The 1st Berkshire covers 13 communities across the top of the county, Clarksburg among them, so the representative’s district and the town’s own concerns overlap closely.
In Washington
All of Clarksburg sits in the 1st Congressional District, which runs from the Berkshires east through Springfield and out toward Worcester County. 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 Clarksburg because both represent the whole Commonwealth.
