As cynical and partisan as our current political climate is, I remain hopeful about our future and inspired by the example set every day by Vermonters. With your help, we will keep control of the House, take back the Senate, and make Donald Trump a one-term President.

Meet Peter

Peter Welch has represented Vermonters in Congress since 2007. In an era of partisanship and division, he is widely recognized as a skillful legislator who chooses governing over gridlock.

He was born in Springfield, Massachusetts and graduated from the College of the Holy Cross. As a member of the first class of Robert F. Kennedy Fellows, he fought housing discrimination in Chicago after college and went on to earn a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley. After law school, he settled in Vermont’s Upper Valley where he founded a small law practice.
