Salisbury Legislators
Who Represents Salisbury
Five people speak for Salisbury above the town line, and there is no district boundary inside the town to check first. One state representative and one state senator carry the whole town in the Massachusetts Legislature, one member of Congress carries it in the U.S. House, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Salisbury included. Between them they cover everything from a state road repair to a federal grant for your school.
State Senator
First Essex and Middlesex District · Republican
Bruce Tarr
State House: Room 308 · (617) 722-1600
Email: bruce.tarr@masenate.gov
A state senator votes the state budget, files bills, and sits on the joint committees where most bills live or die. Bruce Tarr is the Senate Minority Leader, which makes him one of the most senior voices in the chamber. All of Salisbury sits inside the First Essex and Middlesex district, so there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Salisbury is not split. The entire town sits in the 1st Essex House district, so one representative answers for every street in it.
1st Essex District · Democrat
Dawne Shand
State House: Room 473B · (617) 722-2263
Email: dawne.shand@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. Dawne Shand sits on the Joint Committees on Environment and Natural Resources and on Health Care Financing, and she has made coastal flood resilience one of her priorities, which puts a beach town like Salisbury close to her work.
In Washington
All of Salisbury sits in the Sixth Congressional District, one of nine in Massachusetts. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats, and both of them represent you as much as any Salisbury voter.
6th Congressional District · Democrat
Seth Moulton
Washington: 1126 Longworth House Office Building · 202-225-8020
