Congressman Edward Markey has two regional offices in his district, one in Medford and one on Route 126 in downtown Framingham. Framingham residents may contact the Congressman via phone, e-mail or visit him at his Concord Street Office in Framingham. Office staff can help constituents with issues related to federal agencies, like Social Security, immigration, or veteran's issues. Office staff can help Framingham residents with service academy nominations, flag requests, and with scheduling visits to the district and to Washington, D.C. If a Framingham resident has a question on legislation or general federal policy, it is recommended they contact the Congressman's Washington, D.C. office. Markey, a Democrat, represents the 7th district of Massachusetts in the U.S. House of Representatives. He has served Framingham, and the rest of the district, since 1976.
