Who Represents Wrentham
Five people speak for Wrentham 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, Wrentham included. Between them they cover everything from a state road repair to the Massachusetts School Building Authority grant that pays part of a new elementary school.
State Senator
Norfolk, Worcester and Middlesex District · Democrat
Rebecca L. Rausch
State House: Room 215 · (617) 722-1555
Email: becca.rausch@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 Wrentham sits inside the Norfolk, Worcester and Middlesex district, which also takes in Franklin, Norfolk, Plainville, Bellingham, Millis, Medfield, Milford, Dover, Sherborn and Needham, so there is no district line to check before you write. Senator Rausch sits on the Joint Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government, which is the committee a town charter act like Wrentham’s own has to pass through, and on the Joint Committee on Election Laws.
State Representative
Wrentham is not split. The entire town sits in the 9th Norfolk House district, so one representative answers for every street in it.
9th Norfolk District · Republican
Marcus S. Vaughn
State House: Room 473B · (617) 722-2263
Email: marcus.vaughn@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 9th Norfolk district covers all of Wrentham, Norfolk and Plainville and parts of Medfield, Millis and Walpole. Representative Vaughn sits on the House Committee on Ways and Means and on the Joint Committee on Ways and Means, which is where the state budget is actually written.
In Washington
All of Wrentham sits in the Fourth Congressional District, one of nine in Massachusetts, and the district runs from Newton and Brookline down through Franklin and Attleboro to Fall River. 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 Wrentham voter.
4th Congressional District · Democrat
Jake Auchincloss
Washington: 1524 Longworth House Office Building · 202-225-5931

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.
