Vermont's 2012 general elections were held on November 6, 2012. Primary elections were held on August 28, 2012.
Incumbent Independent U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, who has held the position since 2007, is running for re-election. He is also seeking the nominations of the Democratic and Progressive parties unopposed, but is expected to decline both after the primary so that no other candidate will appear from those party lines on the general election ballot to split the vote with him.
Incumbent Democratic U.S. Representative Peter Welch, who has held the position since 2007, is running for re-election.
Mark Donka, a police officer and former member of the Hartford Board of Selectmen, is seeking the Republican nomination to challenge Welch.
Other general election candidates include James "Sam" Desrochers, who is running as an Independent, and Andre LaFramboise, who is running on the VoteKISS line.
Incumbent Democratic Governor Peter Shumlin, who has held the position since 2011, is running for re-election.
Randy Brock, a state Senator and former state Auditor, is seeking the Republican nomination to challenge Shumlin. Martha Abbott, the chairwoman of the Vermont Progressive Party, is also running.
Other general election candidates include Cris Ericson, who is running on the U.S. Marijuana Party line, and Emily Peyton, who is running as an Independent.
Republican incumbent Phil Scott, who has held the position of Lieutenant Governor since 2011, is running for re-election.
