Who Represents Somerset
Somerset sits whole inside one state representative district and one state senate district, so there is no line to check before you write: the same two people on Beacon Hill speak for every street in town. One member of Congress covers the whole town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Somerset included. Five names on this page, and between them they cover everything from a state road repair to a federal water rule.
State Senator
First Bristol and Plymouth District · Democrat
Michael Rodrigues
State House: Room 212 · (617) 722-1114
Email: michael.rodrigues@masenate.gov
A state senator votes the state budget, files bills, and sits on the joint committees where most bills live or die. All of Somerset is in the First Bristol and Plymouth district, which means one office handles every question a Somerset resident brings to the Senate.
State Representative
5th Bristol District · Republican
Justin Thurber
State House: Room 443 · (617) 722-2460
Email: justin.thurber@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. Somerset is not split between districts, so this is the one House office that answers for the whole town.
In Washington
All of Somerset sits in the 4th Congressional District. 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 Somerset along with every other community in the state.
4th Congressional District · Democrat
Jake Auchincloss
Washington: 1524 Longworth House Office Building · 202-225-5931
