Who Represents Halifax
Halifax is split between two state representative districts, so this is one of the towns where your own address decides who speaks for you on Beacon Hill. One state senator and one member of Congress cover the whole town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Halifax included. Six names on this page, five for any single address, and between them they cover everything from a cranberry-bog bylaw to a federal transportation bill.
State Senator
Second Plymouth and Norfolk District · Democrat
Michael D. Brady
State House: Room 416-A · (617) 722-1200
Email: michael.brady@masenate.gov
One state senator carries Halifax’s questions in the upper chamber, from local aid to school funding. All of Halifax sits inside the Second Plymouth and Norfolk district, so there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representatives
Halifax is split between two House districts, so the person who speaks for your street depends on where in town you live. Check your address before you write, because a letter to the wrong one of these two will simply be forwarded.
12th Plymouth District · Democrat
Kathleen R. LaNatra
State House: Room 42 · (617) 722-2370
Email: kathleen.lanatra@mahouse.gov
6th Plymouth District · Republican
Kenneth P. Sweezey
State House: Room 237 · (617) 722-2305
Email: ken.sweezey@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. Both of these offices take calls from Halifax residents.
In Washington
All of Halifax sits in the 9th Congressional District, which runs from the South Shore across the South Coast to 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
