Who Represents Dennis
Five names cover this town, and there is no district line inside Dennis to check first: one state representative and one state senator carry the whole town on Beacon Hill, one member of Congress carries it in Washington, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Dennis included. Between them they answer for everything from a beach bylaw to a federal fisheries rule.
State Senator
Cape and Islands District · Democrat
Julian Cyr
State House: Room 111 · (617) 722-1570
Email: julian.cyr@masenate.gov
The Cape and Islands district covers Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, so one senator carries the water, ferry, housing and school funding questions of a whole peninsula. All of Dennis sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
1st Barnstable District · Democrat
Christopher Richard Flanagan
State House: Room 26 · (617) 722-2080
Email: christopher.flanagan@mahouse.gov
The 1st Barnstable district takes in all of Dennis, all of Brewster, and part of Yarmouth, so one representative speaks for every street in this town. 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.
In Washington
All of Dennis sits in the 9th Congressional District, one of the largest in the state, running 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
