Leicester Legislators
Who Represents Leicester
Leicester is split among three 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, Leicester included. Seven names on this page, five for any single address, and between them they carry everything from a local road project to a federal budget.
State Senator
Worcester and Hampshire District · Republican
Peter J. Durant
State House: Room 520 · (617) 722-1540
Email: peter.durant@masenate.gov
The Worcester and Hampshire district takes in Gardner, part of Worcester, and a wide band of towns west of the city, so one senator carries the budget, housing, and school-funding questions of a whole slice of central Massachusetts. All of Leicester sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write to your senator.
State Representatives
Leicester is split among three House districts, so the person who speaks for your street depends on which precinct you live in. Check your precinct before you write, because a letter to the wrong representative will simply be forwarded.
5th Worcester District · Republican
Donald R. Berthiaume Jr.
State House: Room 548 · (617) 722-2488
Email: donald.berthiaume@mahouse.gov
7th Worcester District · Republican
Paul K. Frost
State House: Room 124 · (617) 722-2100
Email: paul.frost@mahouse.gov
17th Worcester District · Democrat
David H. LeBoeuf
State House: Room 237 · (617) 722-2305
Email: david.leboeuf@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. All three of these offices take calls from Leicester residents.
In Washington
All of Leicester sits in the 2nd Congressional District, which reaches from Worcester across central and western Massachusetts. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
2nd Congressional District · Democrat
James P. McGovern
Washington: 370 Cannon House Office Building · 202-225-6101
