Senate and House district are restructured every ten years to reflect demographic shifts. As a result of a population boom in the southeast section of the state, the district currently represented by Senator Joyce, was expanded southward. 

�I view this as an opportunity to learn about new issues, familiarize myself with different communities, and meet as many new constituents as possible,� said Senator Joyce.  

Joyce also plans to schedule public meetings across his new district to give residents an opportunity to learn more about his background, and to discuss issues that are most important to them. 

Senator Joyce added that Braintree residents shouldn�t be surprised to see him knocking on their door in the coming months. �My goal is to meet as many constituents as possible by the time the new district goes into effect next January.� 

Senator Joyce is currently Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Public Service, which is responsible for all matters pertaining to the salaries, civil service and retirement of public employees. While focusing much of his efforts in the areas of health care, improving education and fiscal discipline, Senator Joyce�s other priorities include preserving the environment, job creation, housing, and public safety. Senator Joyce is also involved in a number of charitable and civic associations including the Randolph Chamber of Commerce, the Neponset River Watershed Association, and the League of Women Voters. Senator Joyce lives in Milton with his wife Mary and their five children.
