Who Represents Dighton
All of Dighton sits in one state representative district, one state senate district, and one congressional district, so no matter your street in town the same people speak for you on Beacon Hill and in Washington. Five names cover the whole town, and between them they handle everything from a local road project to a federal river designation.
State Senator
Third Bristol and Plymouth District · Republican
Kelly Dooner
State House: Room 213-B · (617) 722-1551
Email: kelly.dooner@masenate.gov
The Third Bristol and Plymouth district runs from Taunton and the towns along the Taunton River out toward the South Shore, so one senator carries the budget, transportation and school-funding questions of a large slice of southeastern Massachusetts. All of Dighton sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
All of Dighton is in a single House district, so one representative speaks for the whole town on Beacon Hill.
5th Bristol District · Republican
Justin Thurber
State House: Room 443 · (617) 722-2460
Email: justin.thurber@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. This office takes calls from Dighton residents.
In Washington
All of Dighton sits in the Fourth Congressional District, which runs from the Boston suburbs south into Bristol County. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
4th Congressional District · Democrat
Jake Auchincloss
Washington: 1524 Longworth House Office Building · 202-225-5931
