Peter Welch

U.S. senator, hiker, Margaret's husband. Honored to serve Vermont. Senator working for you.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Serving Vermont is an incredible privilege. Thank you for choosing me to represent this brave little state in the United States Senate.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Congratulations @scott_colom on your historic victory!

Welcome to the Senate.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

While Tuesday’s results are a rejection of Donald Trump and congressional Republicans, they aren’t a mandate for Democrats.

This is an opportunity for us to earn the public’s trust by making real progress on issue they care about most-bringing down the cost of living.

Congratulations @JulianaStratton!

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

A year and a half ago I stood before you and promised that if you sent me to the United States Senate, I would fight tooth and nail for you. I promised that I would bring a bold new vision to Washington and not give Donald Trump an inch. 

Well, you held up your end of the bargain, and now I’m ready to hold up mine. I am incredibly proud to stand before you today as the next U.S. Senator from the great state of Illinois. 

This moment is about more than any one of us. It’s a mandate for change, for bold new leadership, and to put our country back on the path towards progress and prosperity. You’ve entrusted me with a monumental responsibility, and I don’t take it lightly. But I’m ready. 

Let’s get to work.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Congratulations to @RoyCooperNC on your victory and for flipping North Carolina Blue for the first time in 18 years!

You worked tirelessly as Governor to improve the lives of all North Carolinians.

I know you’ll do the same in the Senate.

[Roy Cooper @RoyCooperNC]

Thank you, North Carolina.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Congratulations @BeccaBalintVT!

[Becca Balint @BeccaBalintVT]

Vermonters, we did it!

I'm deeply honored that you’ve put your trust in me for another term in Congress.

We’ve got a lot of work to do. Onward with courage!

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

If you’re still in line, stay in line!

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

A reminder: Vermont has same-day voter registration.

If you haven’t registered yet, it’s not too late! Make your voice heard.

The price of gas is rising.
ICE is taking people off the street.
We’re locked in another forever war.
Your rights are being violated.

Our country is worse off under Republican control of Washington.

You can change that with your vote.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Vote like the future of this country depends on it.

Because it does.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

This has been the most corrupt presidency in American history.

Congress is supposed to be a check on the president, but Republicans have been too afraid to stand up to Trump.

It’s time to elect Democrats and restore some backbone to Congress.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

This is your opportunity to choose the future of this country.
