Who Represents Weston
Five people speak for Weston 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, Weston included. Between them they cover everything from a state road repair to a federal grant for your school.
State Senator
Third Middlesex District · Democrat
Michael J. Barrett
State House: Room 312-B · (617) 722-1572
Email: mike.barrett@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 Weston sits inside the Third Middlesex district, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Weston is not split. The entire town sits in the 14th Norfolk House district, so one representative answers for every street in it.
14th Norfolk District · Democrat
Alice Hanlon Peisch
State House: Room 234 · (617) 722-2783
Email: alice.peisch@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 Peisch’s office is Room 234 at the Massachusetts State House.
In Washington
All of Weston sits in the Fifth 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 Weston voter.
5th Congressional District · Democrat
Katherine M. Clark
Washington: 2368 Rayburn House Office Building · 202-225-2836

What this seat decides
The state and federal seats
Your State Representative and your State Senator. State law: the driving age, the minimum wage, the bottle deposit, and Chapter 70, the formula that decides how much state money your schools get. They also carry a home rule petition to the State House when your town votes for something state law does not yet allow it to do.
Your member of Congress and your two US Senators. Federal law and federal money, and help with a federal agency like Social Security, the VA, or immigration when someone in your family needs it. They also nominate candidates to the US service academies.
