Marshfield Legislators
Who Represents Marshfield
Marshfield is split between two 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, Marshfield included. Six names on this page, five for any single address, and between them they cover everything from a beach bylaw to a federal flood insurance rule. They do not all belong to the same party, which is worth knowing before you write: the argument you make to one may not be the argument that persuades another.
State Senator
First Plymouth and Norfolk District · Republican
Patrick M. O’Connor
State House: Room 419 · (617) 722-1646
Email: patrick.oconnor@masenate.gov
The First Plymouth and Norfolk district runs along the South Shore coast from Weymouth and Hull down through Marshfield and Duxbury, so one senator carries the coastal, housing and school funding questions of eight communities that all face the same ocean. All of Marshfield sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write. O’Connor serves as Assistant Minority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate.
State Representative
Marshfield is split between two House districts, so the person who speaks for your street depends on where in town you live. Check your address before you write, because a letter to the wrong one of these two will simply be forwarded.
4th Plymouth District · Democrat
Patrick Joseph Kearney
State House: Room 279 · (617) 722-2017

6th Plymouth District · Republican
Kenneth P. Sweezey
State House: Room 237 · (617) 722-2305
Email: ken.sweezey@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. Both of these offices take calls from Marshfield residents.
In Washington
All of Marshfield sits in the 9th Congressional District, one of the largest in the state, running from the South Shore down through the South Coast and out across Cape Cod and the Islands. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
