Election Day is the "Tuesday after the first Monday in November." It is the day in which the citizens of the United States vote for the federal officials. Election day is a civic holiday in Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and West Virginia. Election day is held on a Tuesday so that voters didn't have to travel on market day and so it didn't interfere with the Sabbath.
In the House of Representatives Niki Tsongas (Democrat) represents the 3rd district of Massachusetts.
The Senators that represent Massachusetts in Washington D.C. are Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren, both Democrats. The elected officials that represent Massachusetts in Boston are David M. Nangle in the Massachusetts House of Representatives and Eileen M. Donoghue in the Massachusetts Senate, both Democrats.
