Who Represents Uxbridge
Six people speak for Uxbridge above the town line, and one of the six depends on your address. Uxbridge is split between two Massachusetts House districts, so two state representatives share the town and only one of them is yours. One state senator carries all of Uxbridge, one member of Congress carries it in the U.S. House, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the whole state, Uxbridge included. Between them they cover everything from a state road repair to a federal grant for your school.
State Senator
Worcester and Hampden District · Republican
Ryan C. Fattman
State House: Room 213-A · (617) 722-1420
Email: ryan.fattman@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 Uxbridge sits inside the Worcester and Hampden district, which covers nineteen towns, so there is no district line to check before you write to him. He serves in the Senate Republican leadership as Assistant Minority Leader, and his committees include the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, the Joint Committee on Ways and Means, the Joint Committee on Election Laws and the Joint Committee on Revenue.
State Representatives
This is the part to read carefully. Uxbridge is a SPLIT town: part of it votes in the 18th Worcester district and part of it votes in the 8th Worcester, so the representative who answers for your street depends on where in Uxbridge you live. Both of the people below represent Uxbridge. Only one of them represents you.
18th Worcester District · Republican
Joseph D. McKenna
State House: Room 167 · (617) 722-2810
Email: joseph.mckenna@mahouse.gov
8th Worcester District · Republican
Michael J. Soter
State House: Room 551 · (617) 722-2488
Email: michael.soter@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. Representative McKenna sits on the House Committee on Ways and Means, the House Committee on Post Audit and Oversight, the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure and the Joint Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets. Representative Soter sits on the House Committee on Human Resources and Employee Engagement and on the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies, the Joint Committee on Higher Education and the Joint Committee on Cannabis Policy. Look up your own address before you write, because a letter to the wrong district is a letter to somebody else’s representative.
In Washington
All of Uxbridge sits in the Second Congressional District, one of nine in Massachusetts. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren and Edward J. Markey, both Democrats, and both of them represent you as much as any Uxbridge voter.
2nd Congressional District · Democrat
James P. McGovern
Washington: 370 Cannon House Office Building · 202-225-6101
He has served in the U.S. House since 1997 and sits on the House Committee on Rules and the House Committee on Agriculture.
