Scituate Legislators
Who Represents Scituate
Five people speak for Scituate above the town level, and the whole town shares all five. There is no district line to check inside Scituate: one state representative, one state senator, and one member of Congress cover every street, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state. Between them they cover everything from a seawall grant to a federal flood insurance rule.
One thing worth noticing before you write to anyone: Scituate’s state senator is a Republican and its state representative is a Democrat. The town sends both, from the same ballot, on the same day.
State Senator
First Plymouth and Norfolk District · Republican
Patrick M. O’Connor
State House: Room 419 · (617) 722-1646
Email: patrick.oconnor@masenate.gov
A state senator votes the state budget, files bills, and sits on the joint committees where most legislation actually lives or dies. All of Scituate sits inside the First Plymouth and Norfolk district, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
4th Plymouth District · Democrat
Patrick Joseph Kearney
State House: Room 279 · (617) 722-2017
Email: patrick.kearney@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. The 4th Plymouth district contains all of Scituate, so this is your representative wherever in town you live.
In Washington
All of Scituate sits in the 9th Congressional District, which runs down the South Shore and out across Cape Cod and the Islands. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
9th Congressional District · Democrat
William R. Keating
Washington: 2372 Rayburn House Office Building · 202-225-3111
