Natalie M. Blais was sworn into office as the first female State Representative for the 1st Franklin District in January 2019. She proudly represents one of the most rural districts in the Commonwealth that includes 19 communities and spans three counties.
We have all chosen to live in western Massachusetts for different reasons. For some of us, there are no barriers to success or quality of life. We have what we need, or can get it. But living in a rural area can present challenges for some. And being part of a small community means looking out for one another. Let’s work together to fight for transportation, affordable housing, healthcare, veteran services and other safety-net programs that support all of our neighbors.
