Who Represents Upton

Five people speak for Upton above the town line, and there is no district boundary inside the town to check first. One state representative and one state senator carry the whole town in the Massachusetts Legislature, one member of Congress carries it in the U.S. House, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Upton included. Between them they cover everything from a state road repair to a federal grant for your school.

State Senator

A state senator votes the state budget, files bills, and sits on the joint committees where most bills live or die. All of Upton sits inside the Worcester and Hampden district, which means there is no district line to check before you write.

State Representative

Upton is not split. The entire town sits in the 9th Worcester House district, so one representative answers for every street in it.

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. A road, a bridge or a school funding question in Upton is the kind of matter a resident brings to this office first.

In Washington

All of Upton sits in the Second Congressional District, one of nine in Massachusetts. 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 you as much as any Upton voter.
