Pittsfield Legislators
Who Represents Pittsfield
Pittsfield keeps this simple. Unlike the big cities to the east, the whole city sits in one state Senate district and one state House district, so a single senator and a single representative speak for every Pittsfield address on Beacon Hill. In Washington, all of Pittsfield is represented by one member of Congress and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators. That means you do not have to look up a precinct to know who carries your voice. You already do.
State Senator
Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin & Hampshire District · Democrat
Paul Mark
Senator Paul Mark, a Democrat, represents one of the largest districts in the state, a sweep of Western Massachusetts towns with Pittsfield at its heart. He served in the Massachusetts House for years before winning the Senate seat, and he carries the concerns of the rural Berkshires, from broadband to road money, into a chamber dominated by the east.
State Representative
Representative Tricia Farley-Bouvier, a Pittsfield Democrat, holds the 2nd Berkshire District, which covers the entire city. She came to the House from local government, having served on the Pittsfield City Council and as the city’s interim mayor, so she knows the city’s budget and its streets from the inside.

What this seat decides
The state and federal seats
Your State Representative and your State Senator. State law: the driving age, the minimum wage, the bottle deposit, and Chapter 70, the formula that decides how much state money your schools get. They also carry a home rule petition to the State House when your town votes for something state law does not yet allow it to do.
Your member of Congress and your two US Senators. Federal law and federal money, and help with a federal agency like Social Security, the VA, or immigration when someone in your family needs it. They also nominate candidates to the US service academies.
