Your Voice in Government
Lexington Legislators
Who Represents Lexington
Lexington is carved up more than most towns its size. On Beacon Hill it is split between two state senators and two state representatives, so the person who carries your voice to Boston depends on which of the town’s nine precincts you live in. In Washington, all of Lexington is represented by one member of Congress and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators. Look up your precinct with the tools below to find exactly who is yours.
State Senators
Two Senate districts split Lexington. Both senators are Democrats.
Senator Cindy Friedman, an Arlington Democrat, has focused much of her work on health care and represents the town’s western and central precincts. Senator Michael Barrett, who lives in Lexington, represents precincts 3, 8, and 9 and has been a leading voice on climate and energy law.
State Representatives
Two House districts also divide the town. Both representatives are Democrats.
Representative Michelle Ciccolo, a Lexington resident, represents almost all of the town in the House. Representative Ken Gordon, based in Bedford, holds a district built around Burlington and Bedford that reaches into Lexington’s precinct 6.

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.
