Norton Legislators
Who Represents Norton
Six people speak for Norton above the town line, and unusually, one district boundary runs through the town itself. Norton is split between two state representative districts, so the person who speaks for your street in the Massachusetts House depends on where in town you live. 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, Norton included. Between them they cover everything from a state road repair to a federal grant for your school.
State Senator
Bristol and Norfolk District · Democrat
Paul R. Feeney
State House: Room 112 · (617) 722-1222
Email: paul.feeney@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 Norton sits inside the Bristol and Norfolk district, which means there is no district line to check before you write to the Senate.
State Representatives
Norton is a split town in the House. Part of it sits in the 1st Bristol district and part in the 4th Bristol, so before you write, check which side of the line your address is on with either lookup below. Both representatives answer to Norton voters.
1st Bristol District · Republican
Michael S. Chaisson
State House: Room 540 · (617) 722-2090

4th Bristol District · Republican
Steven S. Howitt
State House: Room 237 · (617) 722-2305
Email: steven.howitt@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.
In Washington
All of Norton sits in the Fourth 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 Norton voter.
4th Congressional District · Democrat
Jake Auchincloss
Washington: 1524 Longworth House Office Building · 202-225-5931
