Who Represents Haverhill
Haverhill is big enough that it does not have one voice on Beacon Hill, it has several, and which ones are yours depends on your address. The city is split between two state senators and two state representatives by ward and precinct. All of Haverhill does share the same member of Congress and the same two U.S. senators. The lookup tools below pin down your exact legislators from your home address.
State Senators
Two State Senate districts cut through Haverhill. The city’s core precincts sit in the First Essex district, and the rest fall in the Second Essex and Middlesex district.
Second Essex & Middlesex · Democrat
Barry R. Finegold
The First Essex district covers Haverhill’s core precincts plus Methuen and Lawrence. The Second Essex & Middlesex district covers the rest of Haverhill along with Amesbury, Andover, Merrimac, North Andover, Tewksbury, and Wilmington.
State Representatives
The State House splits Haverhill too. The 3rd Essex district covers most of the city, while the 15th Essex district covers precincts in Wards 2, 5, and 7, along with parts of neighboring Methuen.
Find Your Exact Legislator
Because the lines run by ward and precinct, the only sure way to know your own senator and representative is to look them up by your home address:
In Washington
In the U.S. House, every part of Haverhill is represented by Lori Trahan (Democrat), who has held Massachusetts’s 3rd congressional district since 2019. In the U.S. Senate, the whole Commonwealth is represented by Elizabeth Warren (Democrat, the senior senator) and Edward J. Markey (Democrat). Both senators answer to every resident of the state, including you.

What this seat decides
The state and federal seats
Your State Representative and your State Senator. State law: the driving age, the minimum wage, the bottle deposit, and Chapter 70, the formula that decides how much state money your schools get. They also carry a home rule petition to the State House when your town votes for something state law does not yet allow it to do.
Your member of Congress and your two US Senators. Federal law and federal money, and help with a federal agency like Social Security, the VA, or immigration when someone in your family needs it. They also nominate candidates to the US service academies.
Knowing who represents you is step one. Step two is reaching out, and a call or email to your legislator’s office really does land on a staffer’s desk and get counted.
