Who Represents Lakeville

All of Lakeville sits in one state representative district, one state senate district, and one congressional district, so unlike some of its neighbors this town has no internal lines to check: the same five people speak for every address in Lakeville. One state representative and one state senator carry the town at the State House, one member of Congress carries it in Washington, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the whole state, Lakeville included.

State Senator

The First Bristol and Plymouth district runs from Fall River up through Freetown, Somerset, Swansea, Westport and Rochester to Lakeville, so one senator carries the water, housing and school funding questions of the whole South Coast. All of Lakeville sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write. As chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, Rodrigues also has a direct hand in the state budget.

State Representative

The whole town sits in the 12th Bristol House district, so one representative speaks for every street in Lakeville.

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 Lakeville residents.

In Washington

All of Lakeville sits in the 4th Congressional District, which runs from the Boston suburbs down to the South Coast. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
