Richmond Legislators
Who Represents Richmond
Richmond sits whole inside one state representative district and one state senate district, so unlike towns cut by a district line, every Richmond address has the same people speaking for it on Beacon Hill. One state representative and one state senator carry the town in the Legislature, one member of Congress covers it in the U.S. House, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Richmond included. Five names on this page, and between them they cover everything from a local road grant to a federal farm rule.
State Senator
Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire District · Democrat
Paul Mark
State House: Room 504 · (617) 722-1625

The Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire district is one of the largest by area in the state, stretching across the hill towns of western Massachusetts, so one senator carries the roads, broadband, farm and school funding questions of a whole rural region. All of Richmond sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
All of Richmond sits in a single House district, the 3rd Berkshire, so there is one representative for the whole town and no address to check before you write.

Leigh Davis
State House: Room 134 · (617) 722-2400
Email: leigh.davis@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 Richmond residents.
In Washington
All of Richmond sits in the 1st Massachusetts Congressional District, which covers the western third of the state from the Berkshires to Springfield. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
