Who Represents Longmeadow
Five people speak for Longmeadow above the town line, and there is no district boundary inside the town to check first. One state representative and one state senator carry the whole town in the Massachusetts Legislature, one member of Congress carries it in the U.S. House, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Longmeadow included. Between them they cover everything from a state road repair to a federal grant for your school.
State Senator
Hampden, Hampshire and Worcester District · Democrat
Jacob R. Oliveira
State House: Room 416-B · (617) 722-1291
Email: jacob.oliveira@masenate.gov
A state senator votes the state budget, files bills, and sits on the joint committees where most bills live or die. All of Longmeadow sits inside the Hampden, Hampshire and Worcester district, which reaches across three counties, so there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Longmeadow is not split. The entire town sits in the 2nd Hampden House district, so one representative answers for every street in it. That is worth saying out loud in this corner of the state, because the same district is split for the neighbouring communities of East Longmeadow, Monson and Springfield, whose residents do have a line to check.
2nd Hampden District · Democrat
Brian M. Ashe
State House: Room 160 · (617) 722-2304
Email: brian.ashe@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.
In Washington
All of Longmeadow sits in the First Congressional District, one of nine in Massachusetts. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats, and both of them represent you as much as any Longmeadow voter.
