Who Represents Hanson
Hanson 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, Hanson included. Six names on this page, five for any single address, and between them they cover everything from a local road project 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
The Second Plymouth and Norfolk district covers all of Hanson along with Brockton, Whitman, East Bridgewater, Halifax, Hanover and several neighboring South Shore towns, so one senator carries the budget, transportation and school-funding questions of the whole cluster. All of Hanson sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write to your senator.
State Representative
Hanson 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.
6th Plymouth District · Republican
Kenneth P. Sweezey
State House: Room 237 · (617) 722-2305
Email: ken.sweezey@mahouse.gov
5th Plymouth District · Republican
David F. DeCoste
State House: Room 542 · (617) 722-2489
Email: david.decoste@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 Hanson residents.
In Washington
All of Hanson sits in the 9th Congressional District, one of the largest in the state, running from New Bedford out across 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
