Who Represents Topsfield
Topsfield is split between two state representative districts, so this is one of the towns where your own address decides who speaks for you on Beacon Hill. One state senator and one member of Congress cover the whole town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Topsfield included. Six names on this page, five for any single address, and between them they cover everything from a local road project to a federal spending bill.
State Senator
First Essex and Middlesex District · Republican
Bruce E. Tarr
State House: Room 308 · (617) 722-1600
Email: bruce.tarr@masenate.gov
The First Essex and Middlesex district covers a group of North Shore communities, and all of Topsfield sits inside it, so there is no district line to check before you write your state senator. As the Senate Minority Leader, Tarr is one of the longest-serving members of the chamber.
State Representative
Topsfield is split between two House districts, so the person who speaks for your street depends on where in town you live. Check your address before you write, because a letter to the wrong one of these two will simply be forwarded.
2nd Essex District · Democrat
Kristin E. Kassner
State House: Room 254 · (617) 722-2220

13th Essex District · Democrat
Sally P. Kerans
State House: Room 473F · (617) 722-2210
Email: sally.kerans@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. Both of these offices take calls from Topsfield residents.
In Washington
All of Topsfield sits in the 6th Congressional District, which runs along the North Shore from the edge of Boston up to the New Hampshire line. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
6th Congressional District · Democrat
Seth Moulton
Washington: 1126 Longworth House Office Building · 202-225-8020
