Before Balint's win in 2022, Vermont had become the only state to have never sent a woman to Congress. She is on the U.S. House judiciary and budget committees and is a vice chair on the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
"The stakes are so high right now – with constant attacks on our reproductive rights, on our planet, and on our democracy itself. But we can’t give in to hopelessness," she said in her campaign message. "In 2024, we can pull democracy back from the brink and make government work for the people again. That’s what I’m fighting for in Congress."
