The 2022 Vermont Senate election will take place on November 8, 2022, as part of the biennial United States elections. The election will coincide with elections for other offices including the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, and State House. Vermont voters will elect all 30 state senators from 16 districts, with each district electing between one and three senators. State senators serve two-year terms in the Vermont Senate. The primary election was held on August 9, 2022. All the members elected will serve in the Vermont General Assembly.[1][2] This election will be the first to use new districts adopted by the Vermont General Assembly to allocate for population changes across the state after the 2020 census.[3]

Retiring incumbents

Ten incumbent senators (5 Democrats, 3 Republicans and both Progressives) have announced they won't seek reelection.[4]

  1. Caledonia: Joe Benning (R) (running for Lieutenant Governor)[5]
  2. Chittenden: Christopher Pearson (P/D)[6]
  3. Chittenden: Michael Sirotkin (D)[7]
  4. Franklin: Corey Parent (R)[8]
  5. Rutland: Joshua Terenzini (R)[9]
  6. Rutland: Cheryl Hooker (D/P)[10]
  7. Washington: Anthony Pollina (P/D)[11]
  8. Windham: Becca Balint (D) (running for Congress)[12]
  9. Windham: Jeanette White (D)[13]
  10. Windsor: Alice Nitka (D)[14]

Aftermath

Leadership selections

With incumbent Democratic president pro tempore Becca Balint retiring to run for U.S. House, Democrats had to nominate a new candidate who would take the position in the event they retained their majority. Ahead of the November 13 leadership vote, Philip Baruth of Chittenden was running unopposed. Andrew Perchlik of Washington had expressed interest in running but decided against it, and told VTDigger that the president pro tempore election was "not much of a race." Kesha Ram Hinsdale of Chittenden and Senate Majority Leader Alison Clarkson of Windsor, who had been speculated as potential candidates by media, both said they would not run and endorsed Baruth's bid. If elected, Baruth would be the second president pro tempore to caucus with both Democrats and Progressives, after Tim Ashe.[15]
