Who Represents Dover
All of Dover sits in a single state representative district and a single state senate district, so unlike some of its neighbors there is no line down the middle of town to check. One state representative and one state senator carry the town on Beacon Hill, one member of Congress covers it in Washington, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the whole state, Dover included. Five names on this page, and between them they cover everything from a local road grant to a federal budget.
State Senator
Norfolk, Worcester and Middlesex District · Democrat
Becca Rausch
State House: Room 215 · (617) 722-1555
Email: becca.rausch@masenate.gov
A state senator votes the state budget, files and shapes legislation, and can press a state agency on a resident’s behalf. All of Dover sits inside this district, so there is no address to check before you write.
State Representative
All of Dover sits in the 13th Norfolk House district, so the same representative speaks for every street in town.
13th Norfolk District · Democrat
Josh Tarsky
State House: Room 448 · (617) 722-2582
Email: joshua.tarsky@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 Dover residents.
In Washington
All of Dover sits in the 4th Congressional District. 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
