All 30 seats in the Vermont Senate and all 150 seats of the Vermont House of Representatives were up for election.

While those gains were small, they allowed Republicans to break the Democrat/Progressive supermajority in the state house. This could potentially lead to any veto from Governor Phil Scott being upheld under these new circumstances.
