Who Represents Hampden
All of Hampden sits in one state representative district and one state senate district, so the same names speak for the whole town on Beacon Hill. One member of Congress covers the town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Hampden included. Five names on this page, and between them they cover everything from a local road project to a federal tax rule.
State Senator
Hampden, Hampshire and Worcester District · Democrat
Jacob R. Oliveira
State House: Room 416-B · (617) 722-1291
Email: jacob.oliveira@masenate.gov
The Hampden, Hampshire and Worcester district reaches across parts of three counties, so one senator carries the housing, transportation and school funding questions of a dozen towns at once. All of Hampden sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
The whole town is in the 2nd Hampden House district, so one representative speaks for every street in Hampden.
2nd Hampden District · Democrat
Brian M. Ashe
State House: Room 160 · (617) 722-2304
Email: brian.ashe@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 Hampden residents.
In Washington
All of Hampden sits in the 1st Congressional District, which runs across western Massachusetts from the Berkshires to Springfield. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
