Who represents Bourne — and how to reach them

Did You Know?
Bourne is split between two House districts — and both are held by Republicans: Rep. Steven Xiarhos (5th Barnstable) and Rep. David Vieira (3rd Barnstable). Seven in ten Bourne voters belong to no party at all. Win them, and Bourne stays red where it counts.

Bourne is represented at four levels of government. The town is split between two State House districts — and both of them are held by Republicans. Not sure which one is yours? Look up your address with the state’s Find My Legislator tool.
