Berkshire delegation members endorse Leigh Davis for 3rd Berkshire District in the State House of Representatives

“Sen. Mark and Reps. Farley-Bouvier and Barrett have been tireless advocates for the Berkshires, and I look forward to joining them and building on their legacy,” said Davis.

Sen. Mark, who has represented the Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin, and Hampshire District since 2023, brings years of experience from his prior service as a state representative from 2011 to 2023. Rep.

Barrett, with a 26-year tenure as North Adams mayor and state representative since 2017, is another prominent voice in the region.

“Sen. Mark and Reps. Farley-Bouvier and Barrett have been tireless advocates for the Berkshires, and I look forward to joining them and building on their legacy,” said Davis.

Leigh Davis is the communications director at Construct and serves as a Board director for 1Berkshire and Saint James Place.
