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.
