Federal Senator
If you remember your US government studies, each state sends 2 senators from that state to Washington DC to represent them. The entire state elects those two senators. The senators serve 6 year terms.

Edward Kennedy (D)
Senator Kennedy, part of the famous Kennedy family, was born on February 22, 1932. He was first elected back in 1962 to the US senate, to fill the spot left by his brother John F who had become president. Robert F was another brother of Edward's. Senator Kennedy is next up for reelection in 2006.

John Kerry (D)
Ran for president in 2004; lost to G.W. Bush.

Federal Congressmen / Representatives
States send a certain number of representatives to the US Congress proportional to their population. The entire state of Massachusetts has 10 representatives. Each representative handles a certain geographical area of Massachusetts. Representatives serve 2 year terms.

Sutton is sort of centrally located in the "2nd district" which stretches along the center of the Connecticut border. It goes from Agawam and Chicopee on the western side over to Bellingham and Milford on the eastern side. It goes as far north as Spenser and North Brookfield but does not include Auburn or Worcester.

Our federal representative for District 2 is -
