Who Represents Rutland
The whole of Rutland sits in one state representative district and one state senate district, so unlike some of its neighbors there is no line down the middle of town to check. One representative and one senator carry Rutland at the State House, one member of Congress carries it in the U.S. House, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Rutland included. Between them they cover everything from a local road-aid bill to a federal farm rule.

A state senator carries the same kinds of questions as a representative but for a much larger district, and the Worcester and Hampshire district reaches across a string of central Massachusetts towns. All of Rutland sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Rutland is a whole town in the 1st Worcester House district, so the same representative speaks for every street in town.
1st Worcester District · Republican
Kimberly N. Ferguson
State House: Room 124 · (617) 722-2100

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 Rutland residents.
In Washington
All of Rutland sits in the 2nd Congressional District, which reaches from Worcester west across central Massachusetts. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.

James P. McGovern
