Who Represents Pelham
The whole town sits in a single state representative district, a single state senate district, and a single congressional district, so there is no district line to check before you write. One representative, one senator, and one member of Congress speak for every Pelham address, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Pelham included. Five names, and between them they cover everything from a town road grant to a federal tax bill.
State Senator
State Senator · Hampshire, Franklin and Worcester · Democrat
Joanne M. Comerford
State House: Room 410 · (617) 722-1532
Email: jo.comerford@masenate.gov
A state senator files bills, votes the state budget, and can press a state agency on a constituent’s behalf. Senator Comerford represents the Hampshire, Franklin and Worcester district, which gathers Amherst and the towns of the upper Pioneer Valley, and all of Pelham sits inside it.
State Representative
State Representative · 7th Hampden · Democrat
Aaron L. Saunders
State House: Room 34 · (617) 722-2320
Email: aaron.saunders@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. Representative Saunders holds the 7th Hampden seat, and his office takes calls from Pelham residents.
In Washington
All of Pelham sits in the 2nd Congressional District, represented by James P. McGovern, which covers Worcester and much of central and western Massachusetts. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats, who serve the entire state.
U.S. Representative · MA-2 · Democrat
James P. McGovern
Washington: 370 Cannon House Office Building · 202-225-6101
