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.[1][2][3] 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.
The current dean of the Vermont congressional delegation is Senator Bernie Sanders (I), having served in Congress since 1991.
