Who Represents Methuen
Methuen is large enough to be split among several legislative districts. At the State House, one senator and three representatives cover the city — so the representative for your street depends on your precinct. In Washington, the whole city is represented by one member of Congress and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators.
State Senator
1st Essex District · Democrat
Pavel M. Payano
Senator Payano represents the First Essex District, which includes Methuen, Lawrence, and parts of Haverhill. Before the Senate he served Lawrence for over a decade, first on the School Committee and then as an At-Large City Councilor.
