Who Represents Plainville
All of Plainville sits in one state representative district, one state senate district, and one congressional district, so unlike some of its neighbors this town has a single answer for who speaks for you on Beacon Hill and in Washington. One state senator, one state representative, and one member of the U.S. House cover the whole town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Plainville included. Between them they cover everything from a local road project to a federal budget.

A state senator represents a much larger district than a representative, so one senator carries the housing, transportation, and school funding questions of many towns at once. All of Plainville sits inside the Norfolk, Worcester and Middlesex district, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Plainville sits entirely within the 9th Norfolk House district, so one representative speaks for the whole town. That makes this office an easy one to use: there is only one door to knock on.

Marcus S. Vaughn
State House: Room 473B · (617) 722-2263

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 Plainville residents.
In Washington
All of Plainville sits in the 4th Congressional District, which runs from the Boston suburbs south and west toward the Rhode Island line. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
