Who Represents Ludlow
Ludlow is not split anywhere, which makes this simpler than it is for a lot of Massachusetts towns. One state representative, one state senator and one member of Congress speak for the entire town, so the person who answers for your street is the same person who answers for every other street in Ludlow. The Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the whole state, Ludlow included. Four names, and they cover everything from a town bylaw’s state approval to a federal budget vote.
State Senator
Hampden, Hampshire and Worcester District · Democrat
Jacob R. Oliveira
State House: Room 416-B · (617) 722-1291
Email: jacob.oliveira@masenate.gov
Senator Oliveira’s district reaches from the Springfield line across the hill towns to Warren, and Ludlow sits in it whole, so there is no precinct line to check before you write to him. A state senator votes the state budget, and state money is a big share of what keeps a town like Ludlow running, from school aid to road funds.
State Representative
All of Ludlow sits in the 7th Hampden House district, which the town anchors alongside Belchertown, Pelham, and four smaller towns to the northeast. One representative speaks for the whole town.
7th Hampden District · Democrat
Aaron L. Saunders
State House: Room 34 · (617) 722-2320
Email: aaron.saunders@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. The State House office takes calls from Ludlow residents.
In Washington
All of Ludlow sits in the 1st Congressional District, which covers most of western Massachusetts and is anchored by Springfield next door. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
1st Congressional District · Democrat
Richard E. Neal
Washington: 372 Cannon House Office Building · 202-225-5601
