Who Represents Cohasset
Five people speak for Cohasset 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, Cohasset included. Between them they cover everything from a state road repair to a federal grant for your school.
State Senator
First Plymouth and Norfolk District · Republican
Patrick O’Connor
State House: Room 419 · (617) 722-1646
Email: patrick.oconnor@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 Cohasset sits inside the First Plymouth and Norfolk district, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Cohasset is not split. The entire town sits in the 3rd Plymouth House district, so one representative answers for every street in it.
3rd Plymouth District · Democrat
Joan Meschino
State House: Room 162 · (617) 722-2092
Email: joan.meschino@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. Because all of Cohasset sits inside the 3rd Plymouth district, one representative answers for the whole town.
In Washington
All of Cohasset sits in the Ninth Congressional District, one of nine in Massachusetts. 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 Cohasset voter.
9th Congressional District · Democrat
William R. Keating
Washington: 2372 Rayburn House Office Building · 202-225-3111
