Massachusetts Senate Delegations

The Massachusetts Senate is the upper house of the Massachusetts General Court, the bicameral state legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The current delegation is the 187th General Court (2011–2012), consisting of 36 Democrats (D) and 4 Republicans (R).
