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]

I believe Democrats can win this November, but only if we all do everything in our power to make it happen.

Register to vote. Volunteer with your local party. Donate to campaigns that could help flip Congress.

Have no regrets on November 4.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Congress has left rural America behind.

We need to reinvest in rural communities so they have the same opportunities that the rest of the country has.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Democrats must live up to the standards we’re promoting. If we can’t disavow super PACs in our own campaigns, how can voters believe us when we say we’re the party fighting for democracy?

Proud to stand with Bernie in this fight.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Super PACs like AIPAC, AI and crypto are buying elections with billionaire money.

We'll never address the major crises facing our country as long as that continues.

We must overturn Citizens United and kick billionaire-funded super PACs OUT of Democratic primaries NOW.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Remember when Donald Trump said over and over again that he would end all wars if he was elected to the White House again?

He’s starting wars, not ending them.

Another broken promise.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Virginians: Vote YES today on the 2026 redistricting referendum!

This is your opportunity to make sure your voice is heard and represented in Congress.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Our democracy can never be truly strong when billionaires can buy elections.

After I joined @BernieSanders and my colleagues to call for a ban on dark money in primaries, the DNC passed a resolution condemning the practice.

It’s a step toward getting big money out of politics.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

President Trump has spent billions on his war with Iran.

That's money that could do so much good in the U.S. to increase access to health care, build more housing, and lower energy bills.

But instead your taxes have been used to fight a reckless war.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

House Republicans should come to their senses like Senate Republicans did and pass our package to pay TSA workers.

They can end the long lines at airports if they do their jobs.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Congratulations to @JulianaStratton on your victory!

Now let's work together to get her elected in November.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Let's be clear on what the SAVE Act is really about: President Trump sees that his approval ratings are plummeting because of his terrible policies, and he wants to tip the scales ahead of the midterm elections this year.

Voting is a fundamental right that we must protect.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

No more forever wars.

[Bipartisan Policy Center Action @BPCAction]

👏 BPC Action applauds @SenMcCormickPA and @SenPeterWelch for leading the REWIRE Act, which would help deploy advanced transmission technologies to increase the efficiency of our existing grid infrastructure, boost reliability, and lower energy prices for Americans.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

At a time when democracy is under attack, your voice matters now more than ever.

I encourage all Vermonters to get out and participate in our Town Meeting tradition today.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

The SOTU was an opportunity for President Trump to take responsibility for our struggling economy and lay out a plan to turn it around. But he had no plan to help working families struggling right now, not even concepts of a plan.

The American people deserve better.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

I’m proud to endorse Mallory McMorrow to be the next U.S. Senator for Michigan.

We need leaders in the Senate who will fight for working families in both rural communities and in cities.

Mallory is the right choice. Let’s send her to the Senate.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Welcome to the team, Senator!

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Our country is being tested, but we won’t break.

When we all come together, we can not only reverse the damage the Trump Administration is causing, we can go even further to make progress.

It starts with making a choice to stay hopeful, and take action.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

I've served with @amyklobuchar and seen up close how tirelessly she works to improve the lives of all Minnesotans.

When the stakes are higher than ever, I know she's the right person to lead Minnesota forward.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

She’s failed at responsibly enforcing immigration laws. She’s failed to improve FEMA.

Kristi Noem should resign.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Americans are tired of the chaos that President Trump has created. 

That’s why we must break Republican control of Washington this year. 

But we’ll only win if we work hard and work together.

[Peter Welch @WelchForVT]

Last night, Democrats won the Miami mayor’s race for the first time in almost 30 years.

It’s proof that Democrats have momentum, and that people all around the country are turning away from Donald Trump’s terrible policies.
