Who Represents Hancock
The whole town sits in a single state representative district, a single state senate district, and a single congressional district, so there is no district line to check before you write. One representative, one senator, and one member of Congress speak for every Hancock address, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Hancock included. Five names, and between them they cover everything from a town road grant to a federal tax bill.
State Senator
Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire District · Democrat
Paul W. Mark
State House: Room 504 · (617) 722-1625
Email: paul.mark@masenate.gov
The Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire district gathers towns across four western counties, and all of Hancock sits inside it. A state senator votes the state budget, files bills, and can press a state agency on a resident’s behalf.
State Representative
1st Berkshire District · Democrat
John Barrett, III
State House: Room 277 · (617) 722-2012
Email: john.barrett@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. The 1st Berkshire district covers the northern corner of the county, and all of Hancock sits inside it, so one representative speaks for the whole town.
In Washington
All of Hancock sits in the 1st Congressional District, which covers most of western Massachusetts, from the Berkshires east through Springfield. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
1st Congressional District · Democrat
Richard E. Neal
Washington: 372 Cannon House Office Building · 202-225-5601
