Who Represents Williamstown
Five people speak for Williamstown 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, Williamstown included. Between them they cover everything from a state road repair to a federal grant for your school.
State Senator
Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire District · Democrat
Paul Mark
State House: Room 504 · (617) 722-1625
Email: paul.mark@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 Williamstown sits inside the Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire district, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Williamstown is not split. The entire town sits in the 1st Berkshire House district, so one representative answers for every street in it.
1st Berkshire District · Democrat
John Barrett, III
State House: Room 277 · (617) 722-2012
Email: john.barrett@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. The whole town sits in his district, so on a state road, a state grant, or a state agency problem, he is the one office that speaks for every street in Williamstown.
In Washington
All of Williamstown sits in the First 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 Williamstown voter.
