Gloucester Legislators
Who Represents Gloucester
Gloucester is not split between districts, which makes your delegation unusually easy to name. One state representative covers every street in the city, and one state senator covers the whole city too. In Washington, all of Gloucester is represented by one member of Congress and by the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators. Five people. That is the entire list, and each of them has a public office and a phone number.
State Senator
First Essex and Middlesex District · Republican
Bruce Tarr
Phone: (617) 722-1600
Senator Tarr represents the First Essex and Middlesex District, which takes in Gloucester and its neighboring communities, from the State House at Room 308. State senators handle the laws that set the frame every city works inside: school funding formulas, environmental rules for the coast, and the state budget that decides how much aid flows back to Gloucester.
State Representative
Representative Tarr holds the 5th Essex District seat in the Massachusetts House, with an office in Room 39 of the State House. The 5th Essex covers all of Gloucester, so every address in the city shares one representative. A state representative is the closest state official to your street: bills about your school district, your bus, and your coastline all cross this desk, and constituent requests are a normal part of the job.
In Washington
All of Gloucester sits in the Sixth Congressional District, represented by Seth Moulton, whose Washington office is in the Longworth House Office Building. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator. Federal law reaches Gloucester directly: fisheries rules, harbor funding, and student aid are all decided in the two chambers these three sit in.
