Who Represents Northfield
All of Northfield sits in one state senate district and one state representative district, so you do not have to check your address to know who speaks for you. One member of Congress covers the whole town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Northfield included. Every one of these seats is filled, so there is a name behind each one you can write to today.
State Delegation
State Senator · Hampshire, Franklin and Worcester · Democrat
Joanne M. Comerford
jo.comerford@masenate.gov · 617-722-1532 · Room 410, Massachusetts State House
State Representative · 2nd Franklin · Independent
Susannah M. Whipps
susannah.whipps@mahouse.gov · 617-722-2090 · Room 540, Massachusetts State House
A state representative files bills, votes the state budget, and can chase a state agency on a constituent’s behalf. Susannah M. Whipps sits as an unenrolled independent rather than with either party, which is worth knowing when you write to her: she answers to the district, not to a party caucus.
Federal Delegation
All of Northfield sits in the 2nd Congressional District, represented by James P. McGovern. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren and Edward J. Markey, both Democrats, who serve the entire state.
U.S. Representative · MA-2 · Democrat
James P. McGovern
202-225-6101 · 370 Cannon House Office Building
Contact details for the delegation come from the Massachusetts Legislature’s and Congress’s own member records, joined by member code.
