Who Represents Middleborough
Seven people speak for Middleborough above the town line, and here you do have to check your address first. Middleborough is big enough to be cut into three different Massachusetts House districts, so which state representative is yours depends on which precinct you live in. One state senator carries the whole town, one member of Congress carries it in the U.S. House, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Middleborough included.
State Senator
Third Bristol and Plymouth District · Republican
Kelly A. Dooner
State House: Room 213-B · (617) 722-1551
Email: kelly.dooner@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 Middleborough sits inside the Third Bristol and Plymouth district, which means there is no district line to check before you write to this one.
Your Three State Representatives
Three House districts reach into Middleborough, and the town’s own precincts are the map. The Town Clerk publishes the split on the annual list of elected officials, and it is the fastest way to work out whose office to call.
2nd Plymouth District · Republican
John R. Gaskey
State House: Room 33 · (617) 722-2060

12th Plymouth District · Democrat
Kathleen R. LaNatra
State House: Room 42 · (617) 722-2370

12th Bristol District · Republican
Norman J. Orrall
State House: Room 540 · (617) 722-2090
Email: norman.orrall@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. Notice what the split does for Middleborough: three representatives have a reason to answer the phone about the same town, and on a question that crosses the whole town you can make the case to all three.
In Washington
All of Middleborough sits in the Ninth 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 Middleborough voter.
9th Congressional District · Democrat
William R. Keating
Washington: 2372 Rayburn House Office Building · 202-225-3111
