Who Represents Yarmouth
Yarmouth is split between two state representative districts, so this is one of the towns where your own address decides who speaks for you on Beacon Hill. One state senator and one member of Congress cover the whole town, and the Commonwealth’s two U.S. senators represent the entire state, Yarmouth included. Six names on this page, five for any single address, and between them they cover everything from a beach bylaw to a federal fisheries rule.
State Senator
Cape and Islands District · Democrat
Julian Cyr
State House: Room 111 · (617) 722-1570

The Cape and Islands district covers all of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket except Bourne, Falmouth, Sandwich and part of Barnstable, so one senator carries the water, ferry, housing and school funding questions of a whole peninsula. All of Yarmouth sits inside it, which means there is no district line to check before you write.
State Representative
Yarmouth is split between two House districts, so the person who speaks for your street depends on where in town you live. Check your address before you write, because a letter to the wrong one of these two will simply be forwarded.
1st Barnstable District · Democrat
Christopher Richard Flanagan
State House: Room 26 · (617) 722-2080
Email: christopher.flanagan@mahouse.gov
2nd Barnstable District · Democrat
Kip A. Diggs
State House: Room 238 · (617) 722-2380
Email: kip.diggs@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. Both of these offices take calls from Yarmouth residents.
In Washington
All of Yarmouth sits in the 9th Congressional District, one of the largest in the state, running from New Bedford out across Cape Cod and the Islands. Massachusetts is represented in the U.S. Senate by Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator, and Edward J. Markey, the junior senator, both Democrats.
9th Congressional District · Democrat
William R. Keating
Washington: 2372 Rayburn House Office Building · 202-225-3111
