Townsend Legislators
Who Represents Townsend
Townsend sits entirely inside one state representative district and one state senate district, so unlike some of its neighbors it has no internal line to check: the same two people speak for every address in town on Beacon Hill. One member of Congress covers the whole town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Townsend included. Five names on this page, and between them they cover everything from a local road project to a federal farm rule.
State Senator
Worcester and Middlesex District · Democrat
John Cronin
State House: Room 218 · (617) 722-1230
Email: john.cronin@masenate.gov
A state senator votes the state budget, files bills, and can press a state agency on a resident’s behalf. All of Townsend sits inside the Worcester and Middlesex district, so there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Townsend is one undivided House district, so the same representative speaks for every street in town.
1st Middlesex District · Democrat
Margaret R. Scarsdale
State House: Room 473F · (617) 722-2210
Email: margaret.scarsdale@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. This office takes calls from Townsend residents.
In Washington
All of Townsend sits in the Third 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.
3rd Congressional District · Democrat
Lori Trahan
Washington: 2233 Rayburn House Office Building · 202-225-3411
