2022 Vermont Senate election
	November 8, 2022
All 30 seats in the Vermont Senate; 16 seats needed for a majority
	Results:; Democratic hold Democratic gain; Republican hold Republican gain; Progressive gain

The 2022 Vermont Senate election took place on November 8, 2022, as part of the biennial United States elections. The election coincided with elections for other offices including the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, and State House. Vermont voters elected 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. Primary elections were held on August 9, 2022.[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]

Democrats and Progressives retained their combined 23-seat supermajority. Because Democrats and Progressives simultaneously won a supermajority in the Vermont House of Representatives for the first time ever, this meant that they could pass bills that were vetoed by Republican governor Phil Scott. Republicans lost one seat during redistricting, as Joe Benning's Caledonia County seat was eliminated, but they made up for this loss by gaining a seat from Democrats in Rutland County. Democrats still managed to have a net gain of one seat, as they won the newly created Chittenden North district and gained a seat from Progressives in Washington County. This left newly elected senator Tanya Vyhovsky as the only Progressive in the Senate, although four of the elected Democrats were also nominated by the Progressive Party and appeared on the ballot as "Democratic/Progressive."[4]

Retiring incumbents

Ten incumbent senators (5 Democrats, 3 Republicans and both Progressives) had announced they would not seek reelection.[5]

Caledonia: Joe Benning (R) (ran for Lieutenant Governor)[6]
Chittenden: Christopher Pearson (P/D)[7]
Chittenden: Michael Sirotkin (D)[8]
Franklin: Corey Parent (R)[9]
Rutland: Joshua Terenzini (R)[10]
Rutland: Cheryl Hooker (D/P)[11]
Washington: Anthony Pollina (P/D)[12]

Leadership selection

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.[16] Democrats retained their Senate majority and Baruth was unanimously elected as the new president pro tempore, becoming the second president pro tempore to caucus with both Democrats and Progressives after Tim Ashe.[17] Additionally, Clarkson was reelected as Majority Leader and Perchlik was elected Majority Whip, succeeding the retiring Cheryl Hooker.[18]
