Who Represents Oak Bluffs
All of Oak Bluffs sits in a single state representative district, so unlike many towns you do not have to check your address to know who speaks for you on Beacon Hill. One state representative and one state senator carry the whole town, one member of Congress covers it, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Oak Bluffs included. Five names on this page, and between them they cover everything from a beach bylaw to a federal fisheries rule.
State Senator
Cape and Islands District · Democrat
Julian Cyr
State House: Room 111 · (617) 722-1570

The Cape and Islands district covers all of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket except Bourne, Falmouth, Sandwich and part of Dukes, so one senator carries the water, ferry, housing and school funding questions of a whole peninsula. All of Oak Bluffs sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
All of Oak Bluffs is in the Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket House district, so one representative speaks for the whole town on Beacon Hill.

Thomas Moakley
State House: Room 134 · (617) 722-2400
Email: thomas.moakley@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. This office takes calls from Oak Bluffs residents.
In Washington
All of Oak Bluffs sits in the 9th Congressional District, one of the largest in the state, running from New Bedford 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.
