Vermont's congressional delegations

These are tables of congressional delegations from Vermont to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives.

Vermont was the last state in the United States to include a woman in its congressional delegation, in 2023, when Becca Balint was sworn in as its only U.S. House member following her victory in the 2022 election. Despite its status as a heavily Democratic-majority state, it has only sent two Democratic United States senators to Congress in its entire history. Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch are the current senators from the state. At age 34, Patrick Leahy was the youngest U.S. senator in Vermont history, the first non-Republican senator from Vermont since 1856, and the first Democrat to represent Vermont in the chamber.

The current dean of the Vermont congressional delegation is Senator Bernie Sanders (I), having served in the Senate since 2007 and in Congress since 1991.

Vermont's current delegation in the 119th United States Congress consists of two senators—Bernie Sanders, an independent politician; and Peter Welch, a Democrat—and one member of the United States House, Democratic representative Becca Balint.

The Cook Partisan Voting Index (CPVI) is a measure of how strongly partisan a state is. For each district or state, the CPVI measures the party leaning (Democratic or Republican) and the number of percentage points more partisan than the national average. In 2025, the CPVI gave Vermont an D+17 rating, meaning the state voted seventeen percentage points more Democratic than the national average.

United States Senate

Four presidents pro tempore of the United States Senate—Stephen R. Bradley, Solomon Foot, George Franklin Edmunds, and Patrick Joseph Leahy—have been from Vermont. Of the four, Bradley, one Vermont's first senators after its admittance into the Union, also served as the first chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and helped author the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution, while Leahy (who chaired the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, Senate Judiciary Committee, and Senate Appropriations Committee) is, , the longest-serving senator from Vermont.

Other Vermont senators include Justin Morrill, the namesake of the Morrill Land-Grant Acts and the longest serving chair of the Senate Committee on Finance; and Bernie Sanders, chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs and Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history.
