Shirley Legislators

Who Represents Shirley

All of Shirley sits in one state representative district and one state senate district, so unlike some of its neighbors there is no line to check before you write: the same five people speak for every address in town. One state representative and one state senator carry Shirley’s business on Beacon Hill, one member of Congress covers the whole town in Washington, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Shirley included. Between them they cover everything from a local road project to a federal farm rule.

State Senator

Worcester and Middlesex District · Democrat

John Cronin

Covers: all of Shirley, with towns across northern Worcester and Middlesex counties
State House: Room 218 · (617) 722-1230
Email: john.cronin@masenate.gov

A state senator votes the state budget, files and shapes legislation, and can press a state agency on a constituent’s behalf. All of Shirley sits inside this one district, so there is no district line to check before you write.

State Representative

The whole town sits in a single House district, the 37th Middlesex, so one representative speaks for every street in Shirley.

37th Middlesex District · Democrat

Danillo A. Sena

Covers: all of Shirley, with Ayer, Lunenburg, and neighboring towns
State House: Room 39 · (617) 722-2014
Email: danillo.sena@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 office takes calls from Shirley residents.

In Washington

All of Shirley sits in the 3rd Congressional District, which runs across north-central Massachusetts from the Merrimack Valley to the New Hampshire and Worcester County lines. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
